Abstract
A set of experiments on widely different web sites examined the technical accuracy and practicalities of different approaches to using an emulated dial-up link instead of true 56kbps (V.90) dial-up to measure end-user web site experience. The experiments showed that attempts to emulate V.90 dial-up connections by using simple calculations, bandwidth-restricted routers, or sophisticated network simulation packages are extremely inaccurate and unusable for comparing different web pages. The primary reason for these inaccuracies appears to be the modem's hardware compression (V.42bis) feature.
