Across several tests, I've achieved 25 - 29 Mbps in the following Topology: Browser = Terra 1.3.6 OS = IOS 5.0.1 Device = iPad2 CDMA, 64GB, dual core 1Ghz Apple A5 802.11n = 5Ghz 48(P) 44(S) @ < 10m, indoor, NLOS Access Point. = Netgear 3700 v1.0.7.98NA (dual band with Atheros 680Mhz RISC NWP) LAN = 1Gbps, CAT6 (1m) CPE = Motorola Surfboard 6120 v1.0.1.8-SCM02-NOSH ISP. = Suddenlink.net, 50Mbps/2Mbps nominal and verified avg latency. = 59.7ms (52B null packets at 10 pings/s) Traceroute to mytest.net, 64 hops max, 52 byte packets: hop(4) 36 bytes cdm-66-76-30-37.tylrtx.suddenlink.net (66.76.30.37) hop(5) 36 bytes 64.211.195.141 hop(6) 36 bytes ae2.csr2.dal2.gblx.net (67.16.151.82) hop(7) 36 bytes po9.ar5.dal2.gblx.net (67.16.151.133) hop( 36 bytes verizon-2.ar5.dal2.gblx.net (64.208.27.1) hop(9) 36 bytes 0.ae1.xl3.dfw7.alter.net (152.63.96.46) hop(10) 36 bytes 0.ge-7-3-0.xl3.mia4.alter.net (152.63.1.110) hop(11) 36 bytes tengige0-6-4-0.gw11.mia4.alter.net (152.63.84.130) hop(12) 36 bytes internet-gw.customer.alter.net (152.179.26.218) hop(13) ******************** Request timeout hop(14) 36 bytes 24.244.158.2 hop(15) 64 bytes 208.87.33.151 Best results are obtained with large file sizes (>= 25MB) Observations: 1. Terra appears to be significantly faster than Safari (which is interesting since they share a lot of the same programming in xCode)? 2. Terra appears to have a bug that causes a crash on large test files (> 50MB): around 53-58MB into the test, Terra will crash) 3. The tailhop from Potwin to Ashburn 152.179.26.218 to Nassau, Bahamas 208.87.33.151is a little odd, and I'm assuming DNS is pointing http traffic to a different server.
