Hello,
I think for sure Tim is going to know this. So I connected my Laptop (wired) to the WAN port of the router and put it in the same subnet as the (static) WAN IP I assigned to the router.
Next, I connected my desktop to a LAN-port and I put its IP as DMZ in the router.
So, the laptop is in the 10.0.0.x/8 subnet, the desktop is in the 192.168.0.x/24 subnet and is set as the DMZ device in the router. Pinging between the laptop and the desktop (and vice verso) yields a ping of 1ms or lower.
1. Is this a valid test for latency testing? I'm kind of surprised it is so low.
2. Should I test with bigger packets than the standard 32 byte ping?
thanks,
Jeroen
