[Measurement-wg] Fwd: Updated: Instruction for running residential throughput tests (thanks for volunteering)

[Amreesh Phokeer]

Hello measurement folks,

Below is an experiment from the University of Michigan to understand residential throughput in different regions of the world.

If you have a Linux box running at home, with more than a link of more 4 Mbps, you can try this out. See below for more details.

Cheers,
Amreesh
