I can set a higher priority DSCP value on speedtest.net traffic. I
tested this on one SM and it works great. On a busy AP at 9:30pm I was
getting speedtest results from 12-20mbps. I set the speedtest traffic
to DSCP 26 and enable a "medium" priority channel and now it's 34mbps
every single time without fail (and at my data rate, frame size, etc
that's all I could ever hope for).
The question is: Would this be evil?
The feeling is that for some customers there's nothing actually wrong
except they run speedtest.net simultaneously as their XBox downloads a
game and then call to report "slow" speeds. The feeling is that it
would be easier to just let them see a bigger speed test number than to
educate them (and some will always refuse to be educated).
The evil part is that it would mask an actual congestion problem.
There's also a notion being tossed around the office that our
competitors are already doing this. I have no idea if they actually
are, and I'm also not sure if I care what they're doing.
