Hi,
We have tested web experience in our network in different
locations.

Following are statics gathered for mail.google.com site in 3 systems
in different locations of network.

i do not know how to analyse these results , from below results which
system has faster network performance.?


Secondly how to define - Aggregate Session time, Sequence (clock)
time,TCP/IP connect time:

i shall be highly thankful for your help.


SYSTEM A

Request Count: 8
Bytes Sent: 7,198
Bytes Received: 5,642

ACTUAL PERFORMANCE
--------------
Requests started at: 03:00:01:9052
Responses completed at: 03:00:02:1552
Aggregate Session time: 00:00:00:2500
Sequence (clock) time: 00:00.3
DNS Lookup time: 46ms
TCP/IP Connect time: 376ms


SYSTEM B:

Request Count: 5
Bytes Sent: 4,426
Bytes Received: 3,602

ACTUAL PERFORMANCE
--------------
Requests started at: 07:00:22:0312
Responses completed at: 07:00:22:2031
Aggregate Session time: 00:00:00:1718
Sequence (clock) time: 00:00.2
DNS Lookup time: 16ms
TCP/IP Connect time: 30ms


SYSTEM C:

Request Count: 8
Bytes Sent: 7,416
Bytes Received: 5,642

ACTUAL PERFORMANCE
--------------
Requests started at: 00:00:01:8072
Responses completed at: 00:00:02:0885
Aggregate Session time: 00:00:00:2812
Sequence (clock) time: 00:00.3
DNS Lookup time: 16ms
TCP/IP Connect time: 234ms

You would probably want to repeat these tests several times and at
different times of the day. Just one snapshot for each system is not
enough statistical data to draw any conclusions on. Also, make sure
you're measuring the same thing - do you see that System B does not
make as many requests nor does it download the same amount as System A/
C? You need to make sure you're requesting the same exact
information. For this reason, you may want to use a less dynamic page
that GMail. GMail is so complex that there are many factors that
could be affecting your performance. Instead, focus on a static or
mostly static page such as a page on Wikipedia. Remember to clear
your caches, use the same browser, etc...

Aggregate Session Time = Responses completed at - Requests started at.
TCP/IP Connect Time - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Protocol#Connection_establishment

You'll need to run more tests to get a good answer to your ultimate
questions. Hope that helps.

Hi Chad,
My 1000++ thanks for replying me. This is very imporant
for me.

I have done 14 sites for analysis for 7 days period (some of it
dynamic , other static websites using same browser.)

My script run these 14 sites one by one and clear the cache, i
scheduled it to run every 1 hour for 7 days period and at same time
fiddler is capture traffic in 6 different systesms placed at different
locations in network ( ex behind firewall, ADSL, After firewall,
LAN,..)

For data analysis and conculsion , these are problems i m
encountering.


1.I want data for every site opened to be saved to excel sheet every 1
hour for 7 days. so that i can make table and compare the results with
other systems.

I have noticed that session time in fiddler is not in sequencal order,
file size is about 2 gb .saz session file to do analysis, its quite
lot of data.

doing manually is not possible for me , is there any script or plugin
that simply extract site information.


For example : mail.google.com - 9am - statics today
mail.google.com - 10am - statics.
mail.google.com - 11am - statics
...
mail.google.com - 9am - next day

similar i will run script for other 13 sites..

pls do help .

Best Regards,
vchick
