Easy enough to try, thanks. From: Jesse DuPont Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2017 1:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Speedtests
So, I installed an open source HTML5 speedtest app (link below) on an old Dell Optiplex 755 (Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM) that has a 1 Gbit interface and get 1 Gbps all day long. See attached proof from this morning. Works on IPv4 and IPv6. The Dell is running Fedora 18 32-bit, Apache2, PHP. Few tweaks to the NIC buffers and a couple of Apache settings and it was golden. https://github.com/adolfintel/speedtest Jesse DuPont Network Architect email: [email protected] Celerity Networks LLC Celerity Broadband LLC Like us! facebook.com/celeritynetworksllc Like us! facebook.com/celeritybroadband On 9/20/17 1:34 PM, Chuck McCown wrote: Hard to find an app or appliance that will reliably show a customer the speed they are getting when it is above 100 Mbps. We have increasingly more 250, 500 and 1G customers and when they complain that speed test shows a lower number I need something to prove them wrong. An average laptop does not cut it. We have installed our own speedtest server with the ookla recommended hardware etc. But it takes a pretty good computer that actually show a gig. Ditto iperf. Be nice if there was some kind of handheld device that could do this. There are all kinds of hand held computers designed to roll your own piece of test or control gear. Just not sure what is important. CPU speed Memory size PHY circuit Memory type I guess I should ask this question of ookla...
