At this time we activated our enterprise fiber web in our new location, symmetrical 5 Gbps. The technician had a complicated {hardware} tester that he linked to his EAD gateway and repeatedly measured 4.75 Gbps or extra.
I used to be attempting to check with my laptop computer and a 10Gbps NIC; obtain was high-quality, ping = 1ms, nonetheless add by no means went above 4.0Gbps.
It is a new Macbook Professional M3 Professional, so the CPU is unquestionably as much as the duty. The NIC is an Intel Professional/10Gbe (X520-DA2) in a Sonnet enclosure (x4 lanes confirmed) over Thunderbolt3 (40Gbps).
We additionally use this networking {hardware} usually on our LAN aspect and get 700-1000 MB/s. Due to this fact, the {hardware} chain ought to actually be as much as the duty.
The system linked on to the ISP gateway, with the general public IP. No different community elements, units, firewalls, routers or switches. Nothing.
I’ve tried speedtest.web with a number of native servers, quick.com, Google, in Chrome, in Safari, the standalone SpeedTest app… all identical outcomes. (Nicely, Safari was shit, half the pace). The know-how was additionally validating (and getting most pace) from the identical native servers.
It is at all times been the identical case at our present location (5/5Gb DIA, completely different ISP), the ISP exams the utmost pace, however I may by no means see it. However now we have a busy stay community right here (that I can not simply throw away…) so I often go away it at that.
My query is… Is there something at this degree of Web pace, PC or desktop OS that makes it unattainable for a single system to make use of all of the bandwidth (5 Gbps)? Is it adjusting the TCP stack, the motive force (I doubt you have got another), or one thing else? I can not seem to absolutely validate the service we’re paying good cash for…
I’ve a number of days to tinker with this, earlier than I’ve to start out including masses… so I might love to repair it.
