10GbE uplink currently handling ~2gbps peak traffic.

These services are not meant to sustain 10Gbe for a very long time.
The specs from:

Are pretty good and accurate.
As long you won't use ATOM CPUs you will probably max the 10Gbe.

Note that Ookla's speedtest server runs fine over IPv6 -- we have ours
dual-stacked and also with a specific FQDN.

Here is a MRTG from the server that serves gigabit.speedtest.net:

http://ballerup1.gigabit.dk/ballerup-core1-xgei3.png

This is a 10G interface. The server is used by our users that include many
1G users. You are unable to see that because the speed test is much less
than 1 minute in duration (1 minute is the sampling period for the graph) .
Also you see the speed tests done by everyone else that uses our server.

As you can see you do not need to worry too much about the traffic levels.
You would be very unlucky to have two 1G users doing a test at exact the
same time. It would be extremely unlikely that you have MORE than two 1G
users doing a test in parallel. The tests are simply not that long and
people do not run test all day long. They try it a few times, and then
again a few times to show off for their friends or during troubleshooting.

Based on this experience I will say that you do need a server with 10G
interface (like ours) but you would not need to worry much about the
performance of that server. Just about any server with a PCIe interface
will be able to serve static files with the required speed on a 10G
interface. Use something modern like nginx and you are set.

The required performance is 1G for one of your own 1G users doing a test
plus the background noise from the external tests, which means that you
would get a good test with just 1.1G of performance :-).

Baldur

You might consider pointing people to the DSLReports Speed Test 
(www.dslreports.com/speedtest)

- It is also free (no cost), and HTML-based.

- It's graphically far more attractive than testmy.net

- It's easier for people to use. Click one button: it automatically selects the 
nearest test server and runs all the tests.

- It retains test history, so your customers can compare today's tests with 
earlier runs.

- It measures latency *under load*, which really affects a lot of people's 
perception of "network speed".

- I find DSLReports to be more accurate than testmy.net. In several runs today, 
testmy.net results average 90% of the up/download speeds seen by DSLReports, 
Ookla, and netperf measurements on my 7mbps/768kbps DSL connection.

Re: Updated Ookla Speedtest Server Requirements

[Baldur Norddahl]

The speedtest.net is flash based. Many computers struggle to measure 1g
speed and not because the network is slow. I think you will find it very
hard to get a 10g measure.

If you like us just want to be sure your 1g users get 1g even when other
users are running parallel tests, you do not need to worry too much about
the server. It needs a 10g NIC but it does not need to perform more than 2g
if even that. You will simply not have that many parallel tests running at
any given time.

lots of vendors w/ PCIe 10gigE cards w/ copper or SFP+ interface .. 

very few ( almost none ) for explicitly PCI w/ 10gigE and more importantly

i usually get intel chipset based SFP+ PCI-e x8 based dual-10gigE cards
similarly, for dual 10gigE copper for testing on gigE infrastructcure

not many "tyan/supermicro" motherboards with dual-gigE SFP+ connectors
( our primary requirement is dual-nic 10gigE ports squeezed into 1U chassis )

yes, it could be slow ... and most likely not even run at "bit speeds"
quoted by marketing, but not everybody goes around measuring bandwidth speeds

similarly, not much marketing anymore for 3.xGhz or 4.xGhz or 6.xGhz Ghz 
"cpu speeds" and lately, past decade, how many cores can you squeeze into 1sq 
inch
which is trivially easy to count and measure cores and it's performance :-)

PCIe-3.x spec'd at 8Gbit/s  # x8 would easily give you 40Gbit/s
PCIe-2.x spec'd at 4Gbit/s
PCIe-1.x spec'd at 2Gbit/s

PCIe x1 == 2Gbit/s ( per lane )
PCIe x4 == "combined" 8Gbit/s 
PCIe x8 == "combined" 16Gbit/s  ( common PCIe cards )
PCIe x16 == "combined" 32Gbit/s
PCIe x32 == "combined" 64Gbit/s

just being brain-dead lazy w/ assumptions and PCI vs PCIe does make a

Esteemed Legions of NANOG:

 

Does anyone have better and more modern recommendations for the hardware of
an Ookla speedtest server?

 

Here is the link to their recommendations.

I want a server that is capable of handlilng a speedtest up to 10Gbps.  I
plan to do this with an SFP+ port when my network comes along.  (As soon as
MikroTik comes out with a decent 10G CCR router that is compatible with more
SFPs.)

 

In the mean time I will just test 1 Gbps speeds off a copper GE port, but
want the SFP+ capability so I don't have to repurchase hardware in the next
year.

 

Thanks!

 

Sincerely,
