Latency grade support about flent HOT 4 OPEN

from flent.

Flent does not suppose any particular scenario or test target (you can use it to test your LAN or your satellite link just fine, that all depends on what you point the test at), so having a "grade" does not really make sense, I think. You can look at then summary numbers (that Flent outputs on the command line by default) and draw your own conclusion as to what constitutes "good" latency in the scenario you are testing...

My premise for proposing a bufferbloat grade:

• Providers somehow support a bufferbloat grade without knowing what you are testing on (could be Satellite or terrestrial)
• You can input any numbers you want (such as "expected average latency")
• Flent has built a massively-useful framework around testing latency, but the options are so wide it's helpful just to get a rough "thumbs-up" or "thumbs-down" kind of result; this is why I ask about a bufferbloat grade

Flent obviously does not have to support this, but it would be useful to have an open-source implementation of a latency grade algorithm (written by experts).
