| Aspect | Implication at 0.165 | |--------|----------------------| | No compression | Payload bytes = wire bytes. No gain from gzip or video encoding. | | No caching | Every byte is sourced fresh from origin; no local or proxy hits. | | No overhead subtraction | The measured 0.165 is application-layer throughput, not link-layer. |
1. Definition and Baseline A "pure 0.165 download" refers to a data transfer operation where the downstream throughput is precisely measured at 0.165 units per second (typically Megabits per second—Mbps—in modern networking contexts, though it could theoretically apply to any base unit: MB/s, Gb/s, etc.). The term "pure" indicates that this value represents the actual, sustained payload data rate , excluding all protocol overhead (TCP/IP headers, Ethernet framing, retransmissions, and encryption padding).
Expect output similar to:
# Server side (listener) iperf3 -s -p 5201 iperf3 -c <server_ip> -p 5201 -R -t 60 -f m --omit 3

ZIP files are also known as "archive" files. They use lossless compression to reduce the size of the files inside the ZIP.
A ZIP file works like a folder that groups files and compresses them, making it easier to store, send, and share their content.
