that's wonderful, thanks!

One thing I've been seeing is way too many articles basically talking about
traffic increases (or not), and how many are videoconferencing from home...
but no metrics of import to videoconferencing folk. I've been engaged in a
conversation about increasing a certain videoconferencing platform's
default jitterbuffer to... wait for it... *1 sec* - based on how badly LTE
was performing for some people

so if you control your own videoconferencing tools, collecting more metrics
there would be usef

One very interesting metric a netflix streamer could be collecting is
differences in tcp RTT (assuming you slowed traffic down in europe,
especially, to a lower quality?), hour by hour, day by day.

another one is packet loss... retransmits...
