These are my results but they very much underestimate the performance I do get. Notice the tests date form 2002.

 

Here is my result from Argonne (from my FiOS connection in Newton, Ma)

TCP/Web100 Network Diagnostic Tool v5.3.4e

click START to begin

Another client is currently being served, your test will begin within 45 seconds

Checking for Middleboxes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  Done

running 10s outbound test (client to server) . . . . . 1.28Mb/s

running 10s inbound test (server to client) . . . . . . 6.88Mb/s

The slowest link in the end-to-end path is a 10 Mbps Ethernet subnet

Information: Other network traffic is congesting the link

 

And from Rochester

 

TCP/Web100 Network Diagnostic Tool v5.4.12

click START to begin

Connected to: web100.rit.edu  --  Using IPv4 address

Checking for Middleboxes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  Done

checking for firewalls . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  Done

running 10s outbound test (client-to-server [C2S]) . . . . . 2.49Mb/s

running 10s inbound test (server-to-client [S2C]) . . . . . . 44.65Mb/s

Server unable to determine bottleneck link type.

Information: Other network traffic is congesting the link

 [S2C]: Packet queuing detected

 

Does anyone know Rich Carlson? What would it take to update these meters and run them on client systems? There are a number of other statistics under “more details” that would be nice to capture as XML. Even better if the client side were scripted to test at regular intervals to help compensate for congestion.

All

my fav tool for speedtests is from Argonne National Labs

http://miranda.ctd.anl.gov:7123/

It also provides some diagnostics and I have found it usually
more informative than the other speedtests mentioned so far.

There is sometimes a queue that requires a few retries since they
apparently limit the capacity devoted to the service.

Happy Thanksgiving
