Are people interested in multi-client stress tests on routers? (lemmy.world)

I asked this same question on Reddit and I got zero engagement, so perhaps Lemmy has people that care more about their hardware.

I recently decided to use some of the tools provided by Mr Salter (netburn) and I have to ask the community if you want to see multi-client stress tests (4K streaming, VoIP, web browsing) used on a wireless router or if the single-client iperf tests are good enough. Bear in mind that pretty much all publications that still test their devices (most don't) rely on the single-client test method.

I totally be interested in this sort of testing methodology being published. Maybe in a wiki?

Getting comparable numbers for buffer bloat and queuing would be great for commercial routers. Of course you would want to compare against Enterprise solution so that people know where on the spectrum they're landing.

Full disclosure I roll my own GLI net open WRT router and I enforce different queues for qos seperation.. i.e. downloading and streaming shouldn't interfere with VoIP calls and gaming
