Re: Google Speed Test

[Mike Hammett <nanog () ics-il net>]

Is there enough available capacity for {insert whatever the customer is trying to do here}. 

Can they run 4 YouTubeTV streams or can they run 20? 
Can they download a file at 5 megabits/s or 15 gigabits/s? 


There's not a problem to be solved, but information of a variety of types to be gleaned for a variety of purposes.

Are you saying that congestion doesn't exist? 





Not sure how you took that from what I said. No, I am not. 


I am saying your request for a 'layperson' to run a speed test doesn't seem particularly useful to identify that 
anyways. It's not a first order tool. 


What is the problem you are trying to solve for?

15169 has enough capacity to external networks that a speed test from a random 'layperson' is never going to give you 
any meaningful information.
