I would characterize a goodly percentage of the bufferbloat.net members'
outputs as a war between creators and consumers, as a fight to keep
networks usable during uploads. Do you have the upload latencies over time
somewhere?

No, we do not have that data aggregated.

Thanks for the heads up.

Downstream throughput and upstream throughput are measured in indepdent
tests, they aren't mixed as the question suggests might be the case. So,
latency under downstream load is measured independently from latency under
upstream load. The raw data for both is published for the FCC project.

I've not read the paper to understand which one they are using. But I'll
take a look tomorrow.

Thanks

Sam

Sam, see the question below about your methodology, from your FCC report.

Thanks,

indeed:

"The SamKnows probes measure a variety of broadband met- rics [22] over IPv4. The tests [22] covered in this paper include: multi-threaded download speed, UDP latency, UDP latency un- der load, and UDP packet loss. The tests connect to the closest measurement servers (based on round-trip time); measurement servers are hosted both off-net (outside of ISP boundary) and on-net (within ISP boundary). The off-net measurement points were hosted by Measurement Lab (M-Lab) [23] and changed to Level 3 Communications (CenturyLink) across ten cities in the US, while the on-net measurement targets are hosted by the ISPs themselves.

Thus, we also consider the on-net measurements in our analysis."

reference 22 points to https://www.fcc.gov/general/measuring-broadband-america-open-methodology
"Latency under load	Average round trip time for a series of regularly spaced UDP packets sent during downstream/upstream sustained tests"

this seems to imply that it would be mixed upload/download saturation?


But I agree that this is unclear... maybe Sam (Crawford) knows (pun intended), I do not have his email, but maybe he is on-list or someone else can relay that question?
