Baseline Benchmark Testing
- Diego Cesa de Meira (Unlicensed)
OVERVIEW
The following speed test is to compare the performance of data transfer on TC Network to a remote internet host. Three online speed testing utilities were used to measure latency, upload and download speed on the local area network (LAN) and GC Secure Remote Access (GCSRA) on and off TC Network.

SUMMARY
The results are only representational. Below are some of the findings:
Speed varies from computer to computer. High end computer tends to perform better than computer with slower CPU.
File transfer tends to be slower in the morning and improves as the end of the day approaches.
Performance degraded with distance away from remote server.
