Discussing network performance and the impacts to delivery of applications and content.
Hi Rob,
ReplyDeleteWas the iperf server running on the android device. If so how did you get it to work on 3G, I mean does the network allow incoming connections to the phone ? I would imagine its blocked by the carrier.
Also, is this test with compression ? If so, what kind of compression ratio do you see with regular HTTP data as compared to iperf data ?
