[Starlink] [M-Lab-Discuss] The FCC 2024 Section 706 Report, GN Docket No. 22-270 is out!

[rjmcmahon]

Thanks for sharing this. I'm trying to find out what are the key metrics 
that will be used for this monitoring. I want to make sure iperf 2 can 
cover the technical, traffic related ones that make sense to a skilled 
network operator, including a WiFi BSS manager. I didn't read all 327 
pages though, from what I did read, I didn't see anything obvious. I 
assume these types of KPIs may be in reference docs or something.

Thanks in advance for any help on this.
