Test Results Throughput (Download speed/Upload speed) Business Packages performance in ISP domain Local domain International level Business vs. Home performance Sri Lanka vs. India/Singapore performance Delay metrics (RTT/jitter) Loss metrics (Packet Loss)
4
Test Results Throughput - Download speed
5
2 Mbps Download speed (Business Packages): Relatively healthy in ISP domain… > 75% ISP
6
SLT (2M/512k) Dialog (2M/512k) Download speed (Business Packages): … and does not significantly vary among different days (be it week days or weekend) ISP
7
2 Mbps Download speed (Business Packages): …poor in Local domain > 75% Local
8
SLT (2M/512k) Dialog (2M/512k) Download speed (Business Packages): …also variations are relatively higher among three days (interconnection issues?) Local
9
2 Mbps Download speed (Business Packages): …even poorer when accessing International sites > 75% Int’l
10
SLT (2M/512k)Dialog (2M/512k) Download speed (Business Packages): … that does not significantly vary across days Int’l
11
Download speed (SLT Business vs. SLT Home packages): …in % terms, home is better than business
12
Download speed (SLT Business vs. SLT Home packages): …and comparable in reaching international sites
13
Download speed: India and Sri Lanka (ISP Domain): Sri Lanka performs slightly better ISP > 75%
14
Download speed: India and Sri Lanka (Local Domain): India performs better Local > 75%
15
Download speed: India and Sri Lanka (accessing International servers): India looks good Int’l > 75%
16
Download speed Sri Lanka and Singapore (accessing International servers): Singapore wins Int’l > 75%
17
Test Results Throughput - Upload speeds
18
512 kbps Upload speed (Business packages): Somewhat healthy in ISP domain ISP > 75%
19
512 kbps Upload speed (Business packages): …a bit down at Local Domain Local > 75%
20
512 kbps Upload speed (Business packages): …and poor in accessing International sites Int’l > 75%
21
Upload speed (SLT Business vs. SLT Home packages): …here too in %, home is better than business, but not in actual speeds (aprox 100 kpbs) (aprox 200 kpbs)
22
Upload speed Sri Lanka and Singapore (accessing International sites): Singapore wins Int’l > 75%
23
Test Results Jitter and Packet Loss
24
Jitter : Sometimes not enough quality for video/high quality audio (<+10ms) but satisfactory for other apps
25
ISP –Week DayLocal –Week DayINT –Week Day ISP –WeekendLocal –WeekendINT –Weekend Packet Loss : Most of the times, but not always, within acceptable limits (5%)
26
Where is the bottleneck?
27
Accessing www.lankacom.net through SLT (2M/512k)www.lankacom.net NB: All IP addresses are within SL (www.whois.net) 65 ms 25 ms 170 ms 10 ms Local
28
Accessing www.yahoo.com through SLT (2M/512k)www.yahoo.com NB: Upto 5 th hop IP addresses are within SL (www.whois.net) 65 ms 25 ms 170 ms 10 ms Int’l
29
Using RTT/latency in broadband QoS regulation Local Network Latency (LNL): Round Trip Time (RTT) taken to access a national or site hosted within the country Requirement: LNL < 85ms for 95% of the peak time International Network Latency (INL) : Round Trip Time (RTT) to the first US entry point. Requirement: INL < 300ms for 95% of the peak time

31
Few points to ponder o Do we always get what is promised, especially when downloading from International sites? o Are these trends transitional or long-term? o Are Home packages better value for money than Business packages? o Can we be complacent because the situation is not too different in India? o Should we demand better QoS for Games/video? o Should we adopt Singapore standards or more stringent ones?
