See how your computer system
compares against the benchmarks!
All tests are run by sending 10 pings of 1400 bytes from the
OnLive! server to your computer.A ping is a network packet
which is sent from one computer to another and then echoed back.
"Packet loss" is the percentage of pings that were sent or echoed
but were lost in transit. Packet loss is usually caused by heavy
Internet traffic, noisey telephone lines, or other network
errors. "Round-trip" is the number of milliseconds that each ping
took to make it back to the OnLive! server. If you are connecting
via a modem, expect slightly higher round-trip time than the
"Utopia average." The columns of the table show the results of
the current test along with averages for the past five, ten, and
total times that the test has been running to your computer. For
comparison, the final column reports the average for everyone who
has run this network test.
See how fast your connection to the Internet really
is!
