Download Capactiy - MyCapacity performs a UDP speed test which eliminates the inherent overhead of TCP window management to accurately assess the maximum capacity of a LAN/WAN connection. The download capacity is the maximum data throughput from the server to the client that a connection can support.

Upload Capacity - MyCapacity performs a UDP speed test which eliminates the inherent overhead of TCP window management to accurately assess the maximum capacity of a LAN/WAN connection. The upload capacity is the maximum data throughput from the client to the server that a connection can support.

Download Packets per second - The download packets per second is the maximum data/packets ratio that a connection can download at the given packet size before packet loss results. The packet size and starting packets/second rate can be easily modified to see how different payloads adversely affect throughput and quality, quickly pre-qualify connection capacities, identify router packet limitations and determine which packet size and rate ratios deliver the most efficient service.

Quality of service - The QoS measure is a measure of consistency of the download data flow, a key factor that affects time-sensitive applications such as VoIP and multi-media. A low percentage indicates that the connection is behaving erratically. While many people assume that fast speeds are the primary consideration for good web application performance, in fact a connection with good quality (consistent download speeds) and slow speeds can provide better service than a 'faster' connection with erratic speeds.
