Network Speed & Bandwidth Testing Guide
When testing your network speed on RunC.AI, it’s important to understand the difference between reference speed tests and actual bandwidth performance.
- Reference Speed Tests
- Tools like speedtest.net can provide a quick reference for network speed.
- However, these tests typically use the TTP (time-to-transfer packets) method, which only measures performance over a short duration.
- Because of this, the results may not reflect the maximum bandwidth available in real-world usage.
- Actual Speed Testing
For a more accurate measure of your environment:
- Upload or download a large file (e.g., several GBs).
- Monitor the transfer rate throughout the entire process.
- This method better reflects the sustained network speed and bandwidth that you will experience during real workloads (such as model training, dataset transfer, or rendering tasks).
