Administrators Netduma Luke Posted May 4, 2020 Administrators Share Posted May 4, 2020 Having a good Internet line is a vital part of every home- whether it’s getting high speeds for streaming to having a stable line for gaming. But current ways of measuring your line are inaccurate, since they can only run on your home devices and not on your line itself. We designed Connection Benchmark to solve this problem. Connection Benchmark is a pure test of your Internet line, measuring all the key metrics you care about with extreme accuracy. This lets you find out if you’re truly getting the Internet speeds you pay for, and how high quality the line to your home really is. Because the test runs directly on your DumaOS Powered router rather than from a PC or phone, it is the most accurate and powerful test of its kind. It cannot be weakened by a poor connection between your device and your router like a normal speed test can, giving you the ultimate insight into your home connection. Each test you run will grade your line based on your speeds, ping and bufferbloat results, indicating whether there’s a problem and informing your QoS settings. Soon you will be able to find out how your results compare to other people in your region or on your ISP, so you can see how well supported your area is and whether your home falls below average. DumaOS 3.0 is the biggest update we have ever built, effectively doubling the feature set. Connection Benchmark is just one of many features coming to your router with DumaOS 3.0, so stay tuned for our next feature announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess because I run a big co. and my wife's a Dr. the fact that we cant watch these forums day and night we missed out? we have probably spent more money on your routers than 90% of the people on here. chalk another one up for net-duma.

This is what I wrote a few posts above yours. There is no beta test at the moment but we will let people know how they can take part. I said there aren't any beta testers at the moment and not to worry you haven't missed out on the beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Od1n Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 When will we be able to change the congestion algorithm that the R1 uses? In the last few seconds of this Netduma announcement video you can see the download graph and it looks like Cubic Congestion Control is used. This is sub-optimal for gaming since it doesnt consider roundtrip time or other metrics that are relevant for gaming devices in your network. And using Cubic is probably also the reason for why we are forced to set our connections to 70% to prevent congestion. Ages ago Iain claimed to have created a congestion control algorithm that in his lab allowed him to max out his complete connection while his ping only spiked by 5 milliseconds. Googles BBR Congestion Control is very close to what he promissed, is out for several years now and could probably be implemented very quickly by you guys. For those who dont fully understand what i mean here is a picture from google: In the last few seconds of the Netduma Video above you can see the bandwidth graph which basically looks like left graph below in the picture. This is bad and causes lag. What you want is the right graph it gives more bandwidth AND less lag. It has some downsides but those could be adressed by the R1 only assigning BBR to gaming devices for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This feature won't be out in the 3.0 release, but we expect it to be the next major release. More on this soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripper Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 So we can compare whats the best ISP if so I hope its something like this website where it compares the best ISP by overall score https://lagreport.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/results/eune/4782 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpk_ydv Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Will this be using the UDP protocol for testing (which really matters for gaming), or just the ICMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 What hosts are you using for this test? It won't be accurate if your host is on the other end of the world. Running it off a router is one thing but you need to have a decent host as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The service we use has global infrastructure so where ever you are from you will get an accurate depiction of your speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
