From Paul Snyder:
Add a button to NCompass which is ‘SPEEDTEST’.
This will invoke a transfer of a 10MB (or some other useful size upon testing) object, with the throughput calculated and displayed on the desktop and perhaps reported back to Pega for logging.
I’d also do a bunch of little back-and-forth trivial events (30 or 40 of them) to measure the latency in ms (high/low/average).
It could be automatically invoked under certain error conditions, to catch an end-user network bandwidth/latency issue near-real-time.
And on the server side we would reject anything more than 1 every 15 seconds, so as not to bog down the entire network anytime something hiccups. (SPEEDTEST Quota Reached – Try again in a few seconds)
This should be developed in base and rolled out to all Plans starting with MA first.
