Hello,

I did some experiments to measure the pure performance of the Gen2 
router. Not sure if someone already did it for the Gen2 router.
This experiment wasn't involved Starlink at all.

I made a custom cable to connect to the router's WAN port instead of the 
Starlink Dishy. I connected my server and assigned Dishy's IP address 
192.168.100.1
 From the client side, I used a LAN adapter and another machine with 1 
Gbps link. Without wireless clients.

Server <-- cable --> Starlink Gen2 router <-- Starlink Eth adapter --> 
Client.

I found that the Starlink router constantly pings the Dishy interface. 
ICMP every 500 ms or so (need to re-run my Wireshark capture). Also, it 
tries to resolve and access a bunch of SpaceX resources like fw-update 
or more interesting like "ssh.device.starlink.com"

Then I run eight tests with iperf3. Each test was 240 sec long.
1. TCP download from the server, one stream
2. TCP upload to the server, one stream
3. TCP download from the server, five streams
4. TCP upload to the server, five streams
5. UDP stream from the server, one stream, -b 900M
6. UDP stream from the client, one stream, -b 900M
7. UDP stream from the server, five streams, -b 900M
8. UDP stream from the client, five streams, -b 900M

I plotted some results:

All results (iperf output) are attached to this letter.
