bqm-result scores


[link to this post]
 
Hi,
The last column in the csv file of bqm-results is titled "Scores". Is there an index explaining the relevance/meaning of the scores please?

Many thanks.


My Idea of help from above is a sniper on the roof

I don't think we've customised this so it will be the default Firebrick scoring is I believe based on higher is better. It drops if there's jitter, an increase in latency or packetloss. It's specific to the line so if you're on say a 15ms FTTC line you won't have a lower score than an FTTP line with 2ms latency but it's relative to your service.

This isn't something we've documented so I'm not quite sure but I *think* it works on above.

Not sure it's a great answer but it's about the best you'll get from me as we don't use it I think. It's passed on as we have it though.
