[Starlink] [NNagain] CFP march 1 - network measurement conference

[Sauli Kiviranta]

Thank you for sharing! This looks very promising!

What would be a comprehensive measurement? Should cover all/most relevant areas?

Payload Size: The size of data being transmitted.
Event Rate: The frequency at which payloads are transmitted.
Bitrate: The combination of rate and size transferred in a given test.
Bandwidth: The data transfer capacity available on the test path.
Throughput: The data transfer capability achieved on the test path.
Transfer Efficiency: The ratio of useful payload data to the overhead data.
Round-Trip Time (RTT): The ping delay time to the target server and back.
RTT Jitter: The variation in the delay of round-trip time.
Latency: The transmission delay time to the target server and back.
Latency Jitter: The variation in delay of latency.
Bit Error Rate: The corrupted bits as a percentage of the total
transmitted data.
Packet Loss: The percentage of packets lost that needed to be recovered.
Energy Efficiency: The amount of energy consumed to achieve the test result.

Did I overlook something? Too many dimensions to cover? Obviously some
of those are derived, so not part of the whole set as such.

Maybe then next would be to have different profiles where any of those
parameters may vary over the test run. e.g. profiles that model
congested base stations for mobile data. Different use case specific
payload profiles e.g. gop for video transfer?

Best regards,
Sauli
