Understanding Your Results

Bufferbloat occurs when network equipment buffers too much data, causing high latency during periods of high throughput. This is measured by comparing your idle latency to latency under load.

Test Phases

  1. Baseline — Measures idle latency
  2. Download — Measures latency during download
  3. Upload — Measures latency during upload
