 Notes: Notes:
   -The 100Mbps ethernet router was a TP-Link VDSL modem router with 4 100Mbps ethernet ports and 2 VoIP port. One ethernet port was set up as WAN connection.   -The 100Mbps ethernet router was a TP-Link VDSL modem router with 4 100Mbps ethernet ports and 2 VoIP port. One ethernet port was set up as WAN connection.
   -The 1000Mbps ethernet router was a N3700 router with 4 1000Mbps ethernet ports running Linux Debian.   -The 1000Mbps ethernet router was a N3700 router with 4 1000Mbps ethernet ports running Linux Debian.
 +  -The 2500/10000Mbps ethernet router was a i305 router with 2 x 2500Mbps and 2 x 10000Mbps ethernet ports running Linux Debian. (The WAN is connected to a 2.5Gbps port)
   -The speed tester was run in automatic mode, it seemed to find the local test point   -The speed tester was run in automatic mode, it seemed to find the local test point
   -The speed tester was run on a VM not on the router, this may slightly increase latency time   -The speed tester was run on a VM not on the router, this may slightly increase latency time
-  -Latency = ping time on the speed tester+  - Ping = ping time on the speed tester 
 +  - Latency down and up are the average from the speed tester
   -The speed tester also had a measurement for jitter   -The speed tester also had a measurement for jitter
   -Clearly the router with 100Mbps ethernet was limiting the 100Mbps WAN connection.  The same would be expected on 1000Mbps ethernet with 1000Mbps WAN, although local WAN supplier indicated that 1000Mbps WAN is normally only 650Mbps during congested periods.   -Clearly the router with 100Mbps ethernet was limiting the 100Mbps WAN connection.  The same would be expected on 1000Mbps ethernet with 1000Mbps WAN, although local WAN supplier indicated that 1000Mbps WAN is normally only 650Mbps during congested periods.
