Our approach to v6 deployment has always been about enabling capability
where it is available.   The trick is then to have the right tools to
manage and monitor it.

The interesting thing about printers is that even quite low end network
printers (like the HP Laserjet I have) have had IPv6 for quite a while.
You can even configure DHCPv6 on the one I'm using.

Just look for capabilities/features as you refresh equipment and it
makes things that little easier.

Correction:  it _requires_ Java.  It _asks_ for your address.  It seems
like it'd work fine if you gave it your neighbor's address.  :-)

I noted that I got wildly varying numbers on a laptop and an iPhone (there
is also an iPhone app) and the iPhone app doesn't ask for an address.  Both
on the same wifi, and the numbers were off by a lot.

And I meant to include examples, but fingers committed the message
before I could stop 'em.  Sorry.

PC/mLab:

Download speed: 4150kbps
Upload speed:   2364kpbs

PC/Ookla:

Download speed: 5044kbps
Upload speed:   1120Kbps

iPhone:

Download speed: 1.75Mbps
Upload speed:   0.23Mbps

I've gotten strange stuff each time I've tried their tests.  I
particularly like the factor of 10 difference in upload speeds.

If 10GTX isn't a hard requirement, SPF+ & CX4 are supported in a similar
price/perfromance point on the BNT G8124/G1000, with sFlow.

The FCC is probably doing this because US providers generally don't
release actual bandwidth, speeds or latency numbers their consumer
customers get.  Advertised numbers often don't mean anything.  If
providers want to release better data, it might help the FCC understand
the current environment.

Some US providers have published data for their business customer
connections and backbones.

I understand the point behind the test.

I realize that a high level of participation could result in the FCC
gaining a more complete understanding of broadband penetration, and
specific areas where there are problems.

However, I have some reservations as to whether or not the FCC will be
able to get enough people to participate in this to be able to generate
a meaningful dataset.

Further, major inconsistencies such as what I just pointed out brings
into question the validity of the test, and therefore the value.
I am not that concerned about the difference between 4Mbps and 5Mbps,
but when there's an order of magnitude difference involved...  on the
same connection...

I would guess, hopefully correctly, that Speedtest.net, Akamai, and
others already have a good handle on broadband speeds, and it seems to
me that the FCC could get a much more thorough picture of per-ISP
performance (which of course isn't street-level) simply by getting these
guys to summarize their results.

As such, the only real value I see the FCC tool offering is the potential
for visibility into things such as DSL speed/distance limitations, but in
order for that to be meaningful, you'd have to get a lot of people to run
the test.

Which brings us back to ...  I'm not entirely sure that this is a useful
strategy.

Yeah...these test are algorithm based and rarely accurate! On our
100Mbps Internet connection (which I know handles 100Mbps) best I could
get is 10Mbps down and 14Mbps up.
Wish someone would come up with a much better mouse trap. The only test
I've ever found to be fairly accurate is iperf or a simple FTP test.
