Network transmission rate testing method

Abstract

The invention discloses a network transmission rate testing method, which is applied to tests on the uplink / downlink network transmission rate of a client data processing device. The testing method comprises the following steps of: browsing a webpage provided by a server by own browser by using the client data processing device; when the downlink transmission rate is tested, causing the browser to download a first file from the server, record the downloading time of the first file, categorize an initially estimated downlink network transmission rate, download a second file of a category corresponding to that of the categorized initially estimated downlink network transmission rate from the server, record the downloading time of the second file and calculate a final downlink network transmission rate; and when the uplink transmission rate is tested, causing the browser to generate and upload first data, record the uploading time of the first data, categorize an initially estimated uplink network transmission rate, generate and upload second data of the category corresponding to that of the categorized initially estimated uplink network transmission rate, record the uploading time of the second data and calculate a final uplink network transmission rate. Therefore, a client can more accurately and rapidly test the network transmission rate without installing additional software and selecting an uploaded test file.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a network transmission rate testing method, in particular to a network transmission rate testing method which utilizes segmented uploading of data and downloading files to quickly perform accurate testing. Background technique [0002] When a user wants to connect to the Internet, he usually needs to connect to the Internet through a network connection device (such as a modem) provided by an Internet Service Provider (Internet Service Provider, ISP). [0003] Usually network service providers will provide various types of bandwidth for customers to choose, such as 256K / 64K, 2M / 256K, 8M / 640K... etc. The so-called bandwidth refers to how much data is transmitted from one end to The metric at the other end is in bps (bits per second), that is, how many bits are transmitted per second. For example, 2M / 256K means that the download rate is 2X1024X1024bits / second, and the upload rate is 256X1024bits / second. However, when customers us...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Currently, there are various speed measurement websites on the market. The webpage technologies and standards used can be roughly divided into four categories. The first category is hypertext markup language (HTML) and client-side scripting language (such as JavaScript). , the second category is Flash, the third category is client-side exchange technology (such as: Java Applet), and the fourth category is hypertext markup language (hypertext markup language, HTML) and client-side scripting language (such as: JavaScript) and host Among them, most Internet service providers use hypertext markup language (hypertext markup language, HTML) and client-side scripting language (such as: JavaScript) to compile speed test web pages, which has the advantage that customers do not need to install additional software and can be applied to Most browsers, however, have the disadvantage that they can only test the download rate of the network, and cannot test the upload rate of the network. In addition, the speed test webpage compiled using Flash or client-side exchange technology (such as: Java Applet) technology can be used for download and upload tests However, additional Flash or Java software needs to be installed. Furthermore, the speed test webpage compiled by using hypertext markup language (HTML), client-side scripting language (such as: JavaScript) and host-side program, although the client does not Additional software needs to be installed, but customers need to select a file to upload to test the upload rate

On the other hand, due to the initial instability of the network connection or the influence of the client browser, there are usually inaccurate concerns when using small files for speed measurement, and larger test files can provide more accurate test results. Correspondingly, the required test time is longer, however, if the test is performed with a small file in order to shorten the test time, it will also cause a significant difference between the test result and the actual speed
