​Comcast has/is funding development of an open source speed test, and the
intent is to
have a bufferbloat test in it.

Several ISP's are on board with it in addition to Comcast and are helping
too.

You can improve the code...  I can dig up the link if someone is hot to

Right now, we're discussing how to license the code, however.  I don't know
what the final
outcome of that will be.

IMHO.
