Adam, so you are marking the traffic DSCP with the speed test ips on the customer router I would assume. I could easily do this on our managed Calix routers and I have thought about this a lot, even for my fiber customers, just so they get a solid speed test when they are streaming. I am not really worried about congestion even our my wireless network, that usually means it is time for me to upgrade that tower anyways.

Easy to do. On 11/5/2019 6:15 AM, Jim Bouse [Brazos WiFi] wrote: > Howdy Adam, > > How are you detecting/classifying the test data?
