The CMPmetrics' benchmarks are available free of charge, affording networking professionals, information-technology specialists and resellers the ability to measure their own systems' performance, to the same exacting standards our editors use when testing products. And a key benefit of that is that you can test for performance based on interaction with legacy devices. Further, the end-user can establish test environments that simulate their own infrastructure, software, traffic and bandwidth limits, which may be different than those used in the CMP Media Labs during reviews.
