Claim 5:
6. A method for comprising:
receiving, by at least one hardware processor in an apparatus, from a speed test control application installed on the apparatus, speed test control instructions and data connection instructions for the apparatus to perform a high-speed test associated with network traffic of a network;
forwarding, by the at least one hardware processor, the speed test control instructions and the data connection instructions to a speed test control server;
establishing, by a hardware-based traffic analyzer in the apparatus, based on the speed test control instructions and the data connection instructions forwarded to the speed test control server, a connection between a data port of the hardware-based traffic analyzer and the speed test control server;
performing, by the hardware-based traffic analyzer, the high-speed test associated with the network traffic of the network by transmitting and receiving, via the data port of the hardware-based traffic analyzer, relatively high bit-rate data to and from the speed test control server;
receiving, by the at least one hardware processor, results of the high-speed test from the speed test control server;
transmitting, by the at least one hardware processor, the results of the high-speed test to the speed test control application; and
transmitting, via a control port of the hardware-based traffic analyzer, relatively slow-speed control traffic to the speed test control application.
