Bufferbloat and Internet Speed Test

[trick0502]

Has anyone used this before and if so, what are your results?​

​

How This Test Works​

First we test the latency of your internet connection. Then we compare the results to a latency test performed while running a download speed test and an upload speed test.

If the latency increases while the upload or download tests are happening, your router/networking equipment suffers from bufferbloat.

What other tools do you like for a small workgroup network? I've looked at tools that require a server setup and seem to assume Active Directory is present

I was really using it to test qos. The first test had no qos and the second did. The ping were better with qos on, it costs about 200mbps.

Note that this test was made while my wife was WFH (through a VPN) and I was actively torrenting and streaming through Plex.

Pretty much exactly what I expected.

I noticed that Cox tripled the upload speeds, was 35Mbps in the past.

People need sqm is what this is showing

People just need symmetrical is what this is telling me.
