Each bar is an individual probe they go out once per second, which determines their position along the X-Axis, and are tagged by color *when they come back*. For the radar plot, the ones showing latencies to each location, it is nothing to do with buffer bloat but there are two green colors super-

Ok thanks I think I will stay away from the quagmire of rating ISPs on buffer bloat. And first try to boil any bloat measurement down to an easy to understand letter grade between A+ and F, in a way that you guys think stands inspection of individual results. On Wed, Apr 29, 2015 at 11:39 AM, Jo

These are pretty good questions, actually. But as pointed out, when you want to start ranking, it's important to distinguish the performance of the ISP itself from equipment under the subscriber's control, which itself might be configured to hide faults in the ISP. Statistics is a hard subject. If
