The `raw` test is a test that characterizes your Internet connection by estimating round-trip latency at application level and by measuring the download goodput. Instead of targeting a single Neubot server, this test selects a random server each time (so the goodput is expected to oscillate with the round-trip latency). The test does not emulate any protocol, and just sends random data, but takes download goodput snapshots during the test, as well as process load information and TCP statistics. The plan is to use this test's results to study certain TCP properties that may lead to a better understanding of network neutrality. For sure, we aim to backport innovations introduced by this test to the other transmission tests.

Please, note that the web user interface is unfortunately not yet ready to show goodput and TCP snapshots collected by this test. We decided to deploy the test core in this release, even if the web interface integration was not finished, to start studying this test results, in order to identify the best parameters to show.
