I've spent a little time collecting experiences of people trying to convert
in-person activities to remote using the internet.
A common experience for many in the teacher/leader role is how to help their
students/employees/members with their Internet connections.
What standards are there already, or should be developed in IETF or W3C or
....
* "What is needed in order to do X remotely"
Where "X" fits a small number of consumer categories ('office work" "watch
HD movies" "document collaboration" "voice meeting" "video meeting") In
terms of bandwidth, latency, jitter, dropout rate, etc. (as might be spec'd
in a SLA)
* an open-source test tool that is available for popular platforms (windows,
mac, linux, ios, android) or run in the browser
That one could download and run that would tell you
Whether your connection met the standard for various categories
* An aspirational goal, to include
useful hints / diagnostics / data about what you could do to improve
(e.g. detect bufferbloat)
* as a metric for use in broadband access plans for universal access
Some Internet games have meters, there's speedtest which is mostly
"bandwidth"
There are some kinds of uses that need guaranteed low latency
