The speed of a network is generally defined as throughput: how many megabits or gigabits your network can pump through its pipes in the course of a second. That's certainly important, but there's ...

One of the things I test when reviewing mini PCs for Liliputing is WiFi performance or network throughput. And up until recently I’ve used the popular iperf3 tool to do that, since it allows me to see ...

The past two years has put new emphasis on how important an internet connection is to our daily lives. At the same time, some of us have never experienced such slowdowns and erratic performance as in ...

Getting a grip on network performance numbers is one of the most difficult tasks for network managers. Unlike many information technology statistics such as disk space utilization and available memory ...

Everybody already knows what bandwidth is and how it is measured. The problem is the definition: bandwidth is defined and measured in remarkably different ways by different people. In the basic scheme ...

As test engineers continue to maximize production efficiencies, they need to become more aware of ways to decrease test time and the cost of test. Evaluating the speed vs. accuracy trade-offs involved ...

Engineers at NC State University have discovered a way of boosting the throughput of busy WiFi networks by up to 700%. Perhaps most importantly, the breakthrough is purely software-based, meaning it ...
