[Bloat] goresponsiveness learned a few tricks...

[Sebastian Moeller <moeller0@gmx.de>]

Just a quick shoutout to Will Hawkins goresponsiveness effort (h++ps://github.com/network-quality/goresponsiveness: open source go implementation along the lines of the RPM IETF responsiveness draft (h++ps://github.com/network-quality/draft-ietf-ippm-responsiveness).

The goal I think is a quick latency under working conditions/latency under load for the rest of us. I think the draft likely will get a last call soon, so whoever wants to add something to the spec or just wants to comment, now would be a good time:

goresponsiveness is currently acquiring a few nice features, like the ability to compare the latency between idle and working conditions, run both saturating loads concurrently, and to report the sub results for the "self" probes (measuring latency within the load generating connection/flow) and the "foreign" probes (measuring latency outside of the load generating flows)

The beauty of the self and foreign reports is that here we can see that my cake'd upstream does a decent job to preserve foreign responsiveness while in the self responsiveness we see how TCP self-congests like there is no tomorrow... Please ignore the download direction, this is over a 100 Mbps USB ethernet dongle and my true download shaper is set to 105 Mbps, so this is mostly the bad USB dongle in action...
