Note that this would also be the observable effect of simply prioritizing ICMP while dropping other protocols.

Probably a better thing to observe is loss and congestion on normal TCP sockets, using retransmit counters, congestion window collapse, etc.

Was going to mention that a lot of ISPs de-prioritize ICMP but I get a sense that OP might be aware of that.

It'd be cool to see what a long running mtr in TCP mode says about Starlink.

I'm aware, this is through the isp to endpoint destinations, not pinging intermediate hops in the starlink cgnat path to internet.
