Re: Acceptable DSL Speeds (ms based)

Andrew, traceroute is an effective tool is measuring roundtrip in ms format. I am not looking for download speeds or standards, I have already established those. Yes I agree, traceroute is not an effective tool for measuring download speeds.

thanks,
luke

Traceroute is not an effective measurement of performance. Due to the way routing devices process the packets it receives, it is possible for the latency that appears in a traceroute is far higher than the latency of traffic traversing that device.

My email was confusing since I said the word speed, I would like to ms roundtrip for the following:
*1. CPE to first layer 3 hop
2. CPE to first layer 3 upstream hop
3. CPE to layer 3 exit point of upstream
*Example:
Trace route to www.yahoo.com
<http://www.yahoo.com/>1. 10.10.10.1 (CPE) 1ms
2. 10.10.10.254 (DSLAM)(cte) 21ms*(first layer 3 hop)
*3. 11.1.1.1 (Router)(cte) 24ms
4. 5.5.1.3 (upstream interface)(level3) 68ms*(first layer 3 upstream hop)
*5. 5.4.3.2 (exit point of upstream)(handoff from level3 to at&t) 94ms *(layer 3 exit point of upstream)
*Those ms values are what I am curious about. What are other providers seeing and what are, in your opinion, acceptable ms times for a home 1.5M dsl user...

Does anyone have a good resource for acceptable speeds for home DSL customers?

I would like to see acceptable speeds from the customer CPE to the first layer 3 hop, the hop to the upstream and the hop that leaves the upstream network.

Thanks
