I see. So what do you recommend we use to do the speed test then?

Actual, distributed traffic.
There is no way for the firewall to know what a state is going to do. Download 80MByte/sec or camp on a slow IMAP account that gets 2 messages per day.
Load Balancing distributes states according to the gateway weights.
As you can plainly see, it works great for lots of states.
For one or two states a speed test site might generate, not so much.
Real workloads do pretty well with load balancing.
Don't over-think it.

I see. Thanks
