I think I'm being schedule to present iperf 2 to the FCC TAC sometime in 
January 2024. I'll know more soon.

I plan to have a hands on session, going over

o) WiFi/Broadband key latency technologies
o) Iperf 2 tooling and metrics, including bloat (in units of memory)
o) A WiFi diagnostics latency panel from a chip perspective
o) Suggested actions the FCC TAC can take to facilitate better in home 
wireless networks to support low latency needs of all Americans

The assumption is they realize that low latency is long overdue and that 
solutions are in the realm of today's engineering and, of course, 
nature's physics.
