You can run a speed test to measure the performance of connections from your browser to VMware Lab Platform.
The VMware Lab Platform speed test measures available network bandwidth and network latency for labs.
Any user with a VMware Lab Platform account can run a speed test. Students and other end users can run speed tests to determine whether there is an issue with their network connection for a lab. Administrators and instructors might use the speed test to evaluate potential performance issues reported by students and others taking a lab.
Speed tests measure the network bandwidth and network latency for VMware Lab Platform and your associated cloud.
Run a speed test
To run a speed test, open a browser with a URL of the form https://admin.labplatform.vmware.com/http://labplatform.vmware.com/tenant_name/speed-test/ where tenant_name is the unique name given to your account and click Start Test.
View speed test results
After you run the test, the speed test screen displays results for VMware Lab Platform and cloud speed for all the clouds, and for VMware Lab Platform and cloud network latency. Network latency results are color coded as follows:
Results less than 300 ms are shown in green
Results greater than 300 and less than 450 ms are shown in amber
Results greater than 450 ms are shown in red
A good speed score is 1.5 MB/s or greater, and a good latency score is 300 ms or less.
