Here's an idea - no clue if it's a good one. Get yourself access to a low bandwidth connection: if the following table is correct (dubious source and video compression always varies depending on content) then you can easily saturate a 10Mbps DSL line with a 4K video: Resolutions Required Bandwidth Required H264 H265 1280×720(HD) 3Mbps 1.5Mbps 1920X1080(FHD) 6Mbps 3Mbps 3840×2160 (UHD) 25Mbps 12Mbps 4096×2160 (4K) 32Mbps 15Mbps (source: https://www.synopi.com/bandwidth-required-for-hd-fhd-4k-video/ in case the table got mangled into unreadability. ) Maybe you have a way to fractionalize your own network connection if you don't have access to 10/1 DSL. With YouTube, you can select the resolution (although it's not very granular at the top end). If you can toggle CAKE on/off, see if the saturated line becomes unsaturated. If not, reduce the video resolution and repeat. YouTube's "Stats for Nerds" may also be helpful? -- Giles https://www.gilesorr.com/ giles...@gmail.com --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
