MethodNDT7 single-stream

This mirrors speed.measurementlab.net methodology. For best fidelity: wired Ethernet, VPN off, pause sync tools, close heavy tabs.

Use-Case Performance

ScenarioRecommendedBased on your results
4K Streaming≥50 Mbps down, bloat <50 ms—
HD Video Calls≥10 Mbps up/down, bloat <30 ms—
Online GamingIdle RTT <40 ms, bloat <20 ms—
Cloud Gaming≥100 Mbps down, idle <30 ms—
Large File Transfers≥300 Mbps up/down—
Remote Work / VDI≥25 Mbps down, bloat <40 ms—

Transfer time at 1 Gbps (ideal): 10 MB ≈ 0.1 s, 25 MB ≈ 0.2 s, 50 MB ≈ 0.4 s. Real paths add protocol / queueing overhead.
