This is all hypothetical right now, but in my test I did the marking on
the router upstream from the customer. The wireless access point is
configured to give a higher weight to traffic with that tag. You'd have
to do it at the customer end instead (or in addition) if you needed to
affect upstream traffic as well.

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.

The short answer is you don't need to match every packet, just need to identify
the IPs of speedtest.net servers. Easy to do.

Howdy Adam,
How are you detecting/classifying the test data? Isn't it all SSL?

Subject: [AFMUG] Priority on Speedtest.net
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.
