As predominantly a content hoster, I'd love to know more about the path
between my servers and the end user. Stuff like how much bandwidth is
available (or, potentially available, to remove the congestion issue),
in real time (i.e. as fast as PMTUD works). Really stuff so I can decide
whether to deliver broadband or narrowband content, etc.
I'd then like to know if there was congestion on that route so that when
they complain that downloading stuff is slow, I can point at where the
problem lies.
