Introduction to findings
To know the patterns and aberrances in the internet connection with specific examples, I have captured metrics from few of the speed test websites. The following metrics are captured to identify whether network speeds are consistent.
Ping: The ping is the reaction time of user connection–how fast users get a response after they sent out a request. A fast ping means a more responsive connection, especially in applications where timing is everything (like video games). Ping is measured in milliseconds (ms).
Download speed: The time taken to pull the data from the server to the user. Most connections are designed to download much faster than they upload, since the majority of online activity, like loading web pages or streaming videos, consists of downloads. Download speed is measured in megabits per second (Mbps).
Upload speed: The time at which the data packets were sent from user to server. Uploading is necessary for sending big files via email, or in using video-chat to talk to someone else online (since you have to send your video feed to them). Upload speed is measured in megabits per second (Mbps).
Jitter: jitter is the variation in latency as measured in the variability over time of the packet latency across a network. A network with constant latency has no variation.
Packet loss: Packet loss is the failure of one or more transmitted packets to arrive at their destination. This event can cause noticeable effects in all types of digital communication.
Analysis:
Based on test which I have performed, I concluded that there is an error in packet loss of my connection. The packet loss shown is error in all the tests I performed over 4 weeks.
The ping values changed a lot on several days while performing the tests. The difference in ping speeds depends on how busy the Internet servers are where ping travels. If ISP servers get relays from Internet servers that
