Hi Michael,

This blog post describes how the test steers to the server(s).
Noted on the other thread, I hope to add the url param option reasonably soon.

Does it find/use my nearest Netflix cache?

As others asked, it would be great if we could put the settings into a URL,
and having the "latency under upload" is probably the most important number
that people trying to videoconference need to know.

(it's also the thing that they can mostly directly/cheaply fix)
