To borrow/adapt
marzametal's format:
How connection is made:- Comcast cable; rated for 25/5, though real-world it's 30/6 on-the-wire (isn't Comcast generous?)
- Asus RT-N66U running Advanced Tomato 2.9-K131
- Wireless desktop, using 5GHz 802.11N, reads full 450Mbps connection
- Test 1: Kansas City - US Central node
- Test 2: Toyko - Japan (because Japan
) - Windows Widget v2.22: I believe random UDP port; currently 41217. All 3 in Security tab checked
- Single download at a time (one HTTP download, one torrent, etc)
Download methods: Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon 64-bit (using
KB =
kilobyte,
kb=
kilobit as reported by software)
- Test 1: From University of Oklahoma mirror
- Also streaming from Digitally Imported at 128k AAC during tests (so ~130-150 kb/s with overhead); loves me some EDM
- Download via Firefox 41.0.1 between 31.2KB/s (absolute minimum observed) and 499KB/s (absolute maximum observed); also notice a dip in speed when loading up this thread, or other small (non-heavy interactive/download) sites (Slashdot (though not too light anymore), Twitter, Gmail (Ctrl+F5 refresh)
- Speeds seem to hover in the 100-250KB/sec range, jumping up and down every so often.
- Test 2: Same mirror (Univ of OK)
- Speeds as low as 5.5KB/sec, almost never getting higher than 60KB/sec
- Talk about stress-test, huh?
- Same download setup as before, just different node.
- Made DI.FM stream drop out repeatedly, while also affecting the download speed of the ISO
Disconnecting from CS, I see that same download, from the same mirror, it's
superluminal; pegging the connection at 2.5-3.6MB/sec (hovering at 2.8-3.4MB/sec). This information is to help the network, so please don't take it as a detrimental post I've created here. Not sure the exact setup for connectivity at the node, within your kernels, etc. Just for point of reference.
Will update with additional information as I run tests (torrents, different nodes, different mirrors)
