5G stated performance is often misleading; advertised latencies of less than 1 millisecond refer to first network hop connection not end-to-end latency. 

5G speeds are often quoted as a result of PING times which can vary wildly, where PING times from the same 5G phone at the same moment can register as low as 20 Mbps to 20 times higher as PING is interpreted in widely varying ways by Service Providers. 

ADARA Mobile Tools App provides in-App capability to measure speed and bandwidth to the Internet in Real Time using both iPerf and PING which are Industry Standard Tools.  

It works with ADARA Apps like Virtual 5G, ADARA Virtual Home Office, ADARA Virtual ISP, and ADARA Game Boost to enhance user experience.   

ADARA provides PING times, but since PING does not resemble real-world user perceived performance ADARA also follows Google recommended standards for accurate performance measurement and provides Real-Time Measurements using iPerf.

As Google states in Measuring Cloud Network Performance with PerfKit Benchmarker in January 2020,  “we recommend using netperf over ping for latency tests”. Additionally since TCP makes connections and sends data and PING does not, “we prefer using TCP over ICMP (PING). TCP is a more common use case and thus tends to be more representative of real-world applications.”

ADARA Mobile Tools App provides both PING (ICMP) and iPerf for the most accurate measurements and assurance or proper functionality by testing traffic which flows through the VPN interface when ADARA Mobile Apps are enabled.
