Enable Up/ Download speed settings on Tests

Currently, in the Test Editor, you can only select out of a few pre-defined Connection Speed settings. Better simulation of connection speeds would be possible if this could be updated to specifying specific Upload/ Download bandwith settings (in Kb/s, MB/s, etc).

 

E.g.

Download speed: 40 MB/s

Upload speed: 10 MB/s

    Just read here that it's possible to enter any custom value as Connection speed (enter it in kilobits / per second). So this provides more options to simulate download stream. Although its not possible to specify upload bandwith and latency...

    Hi,

     

    Agree, current options don't allow simulating asymmetric bandwidth, e.g. ADSL.

    Currently, you can select connection speed from a drop down selection list.

    But sometimes you want to test with connection characteristics which are not matching the dropdown list.

     

    So, I would like LC to be improved so that its possible to configure up/download speed , and latency connection characteristics.

     

    E.g. when selecting the option "Configure" , a popup window is invoked in which the user can configure up/download speed/latency settings for the test.

     

    See attached screenshot.
