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.
All good points and I generally agree with your observation on lack of good resources/recommendations to improve latency-sensitive network interactions, especially as those are becoming critical for the users.
I hope we'll be able to share some of the findings/observations/recommendations based on our experience (white paper, blog etc), but no hard promises at this point.
