Hello all,
First post here. So please be indulgent ;-)). My question is about the
speedtest-cli tool and the tests results with OpenBsd.Let me explain. I have
multiple machines - physical and virtual - mix of BSD and Linux - and I am in a
process of rebuilding my Firewall - obviously with OpenBSD/PF.
I have had an old Firewall using EdgeRouterLite which is broken now (no
response from keyboard input using the console access - different story).With
the ERL FW, when I increase the ISP contract speeds from 200/30 Mbps to
400/50 Mbps - doing a speed using any computer from the LAN did not pass over
around ~220/35 Mbps.
The provider provided a Zyxel (if this matters) which "acts temporarily" as the
Firewall + DHCP, etc. Any speedtest from Linux, Windows (son's game computer)
got around the 400 Mbps/50Mbps or more.
The OpenBSD station (running 6.6) gets no more than 250 Mbps - the new Firewall
I'm building shows the same results (see dmesg below) - no GUI for the 2
machines - using speedtest-cli.
Following are the tests - machines - I ran with their respective results:
- Lenovo ThinkCenter - OpenBSD 6.6 - speedtest-cli : ~230/37 Mbps- Future
Firewall (acting as workstation for the test) - OpenBSD 6.6: around the same
results- OpenBSD 6.6 running as VM on Manjaro Linux - around the same results
- Manjaro Linux (Physical) hosting the OBSD VM - reach around or more the
~420/52 Mbps (using speedtest-cli and the Browser)- PFSense running as VM on
Manjaro Linux - where I installed speedtest-cli - reach around the ~400/50 Mbps
Even they are not the same tools (iperf vs speedtest-cli) - running iperf3
between OBSD vs OBSD/Linux and/or tcpbench, the tests display results close to
960 Mbps.
So my question is can: I rely on the on the speedtest results? What else should
I verify? Changing cables/direct connections to the current router were already
done.
Thanks for any inputs and clarification.
