     15 The characteristics emulated are:
     16 
     17 - Download speed
     18 - Upload speed
     19 - Minimum latency

     21 The table below lists the numbers associated with each network type, but please do not rely on this feature for exact performance measurements; it's intended to give an approximate idea of the user experience in different conditions. The speeds are expressed in multiples of bits per second.
