== Performance tests ==

There are many factors that affect the throughput you'll achieve, but I have tested the following devices using the 600mbit Business L2TP service over a gigabit fibre connection with several different speed tests, including ~~A&A's librespeed tester at https://speedtest.aa.net.uk/, iperf3 to A&A's iperf3 server, HTTP downloads from major CDNs such as Fastly, speedtest.net, and ThinkBroadband's speed tester~~:

There are many factors that affect the throughput you'll achieve, but I have tested the following devices using the 600mbit Business L2TP service over a gigabit fibre connection with several different speed tests, including:

* A&A's librespeed tester at https://speedtest.aa.net.uk/

* iperf3 to A&A's iperf3 server

* Steam downloads

* HTTP downloads from major CDNs such as Fastly

* speedtest.net

* ThinkBroadband's speed tester

Please note that these tests all use large packet sizes, and if your use cases use small packets you can expect lower performance. There is no substitute for testing with your own usecase!

Using these tests, I achieved the following results:

* '''[https://mikrotik.com/product/rb4011igs_rm RB4011]''': typically hits the 600mbit service cap with single or multiple connections

* '''[https://mikrotik.com/product/hap_ax2 hAP ax2]''': approx 450mbit max with a single connection, the 600mbit service cap is hit with multiple connections

* '''[https://mikrotik.com/product/hap_ac2 hAP ac2]''': approx 350-400mbit max with a single connection, ~450mbit max with multiple connections
