ASCII.jp How fast is the "EO Hikari" of "10 Giga" must -see for residents in Kansai?

EO light is 10 giga/5 giga course service!

With the advent of ADSL, broadband began to spread to ordinary households in the early 2000s.The speed of ADSL was several Mbps, but with the appearance of a service using optical fiber, 100Mbps became commonplace, and the service of 1Gbps is now rare.

If the speed rises, you can enjoy rich content such as 4K videos, it will be easier to use cloud storage, and there is an advantage that speed decreases will not occur even if you use it from multiple devices, such as smartphones, PCs, and game consoles.。Perhaps because of that, recently, a even higher -speed service of 10Gbps has appeared.The speed of the line for home has been improved.

The EO Hikari, which is provided by Optage Co., Ltd. (formerly Kay Opticom Co., Ltd.), will also establish a new "10 Giga/5 Giga Course" and will start providing it on April 1.Currently, we are receiving advance reception.

What is worrisome here is that this line speed is theoretical speed and not effective speed.In a bad word, no matter how much a 10Gbps line is contracted, the actual data transfer speed is not 1Gbps ...

Therefore, I tested the 10 Gbps optical line pulled in the Kay Opticom Building in the Osaka Business Park in the "10 giga course" of "EO Hikari".

Kay Opticom Building in Osaka Business Park.In the future, the building name will be changed to an optage building.

Speed test with 10Gbps line under the same conditions as the general service of "10 giga"

If you sign a high -speed line and try it first, the line speed test."EO Hikari" has a user -only speed test site, which can measure pure line speeds without going through the Internet.

Until now, there were test sites for one giga course and 100m course, but a test site that can measure even higher speed line speeds will be released in line with the new "10 Giga/5 Giga Course".By using this test site, I tried how fast it would be.

In addition, even if you measure the speed of the 10Gbps line, it is only a mere LAN speed in a local environment with a test site server, and it is meaningless.Therefore, although the place is a room in the company, the line itself is the same environment as a general contractor draws a line on "10 giga track".

In order to speed up 10Gbps, network devices such as PC terminals and routers must also support 10Gbps.In the case of 10 giga/5 giga course in EO Hikari, a router compatible with 10Gbps can be rented, and this time the test is performed using this standard EO light router.

A PC is installed in a room where the optical line was drawn, and the same environment as the general user is reproduced.I tested the line speed in this room.

The connection to the backbone line network with the speed measurement server is PPPoE.The optical cable was drawn to the room where the test was performed, and the test PC was connected via ONU and router.This is exactly the same configuration as a general user contracted for an optical line.

ONU (line terminal device) compatible with 10Gbps.ONU is a device that converts from optical cable to so -called LAN.This is a device for 10 giga.Of course, it is the same as what is installed in "10 giga course".

EO optical and multifunctional router compatible with 10Gbps.A router with 3 ports of 10GBASE-T and 3 ports of 1000Base-T, and this test used a 10GBASE-T port.By the way, Wi-Fi is also available, IEEE802.11 AX (Draft) [Up to 2.4Gbps] /AC [Up to 1.The latest type that supports 7Gbps].It also supports EO optical telephone.

It is important to note that the PC side requires performance that can support 10Gbps.No matter how fast the line is, the accurate speed cannot be measured if the PC side processing the data is slow.Of course, LAN also needed to support 10Gbps, so first tested on a high -spec PC that does not become a bottleneck.

Fast CPU, sufficient memory, high -speed storage, and 10Gbps compatible LAN so that it does not become a 10Gbps line bottleneck.I tried how fast it would be on this PC.
