Inconsistency
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is not a goal of this application to be a reliable latency reporting tool.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Latency reported by this tool should not be relied on as a value indicative of ICMP
|
|
|
|
style latency. It is a relative value used for determining the lowest latency server
|
|
|
|
for performing the actual speed test against.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is the potential for this tool to report results inconsistent with Speedtest.net.
|
|
|
|
There are several concepts to be aware of that factor into the potential inconsistency:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Speedtest.net has migrated to using pure socket tests instead of HTTP based tests
|
|
|
|
2. This application is written in Python
|
|
|
|
3. Different versions of Python will execute certain parts of the code faster than others
|
|
|
|
4. CPU and Memory capacity and speed will play a large part in inconsistency between
|
|
|
|
Speedtest.net and even other machines on the same network
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Issues relating to inconsistencies will be closed as wontfix and without
|
|
|
|
additional reason or context.
