RE: Network Speed Testing and Monitoring Platform

Connor, If you use the Traffic Generator tool instead of the Bandwidth Test tool built into MikroTik, you can definitely flood a 1Gbps link. However it requires the device to receive the packets that it has sent out, so it’s only viable for links with the same up/down speed. We have been

Re: No IPv6 by design to increase reliability...

It is an interesting question to ponder. It is true that IPv6 tends to be somewhat more problematic than IPv4, but these days the incidents where IPv6 becomes unavailable or has issues are rare. BTW I have had recently an issue where I had IPv4 reachability problems while IPv6 worked

Re: No IPv6 by design to increase reliability...

I think you’ve got it basically right. Over time, the number of v6 only clients will continue to grow. (It’s infinitessimally small right now) It should, however, also be noted that there are a larger and growing number of v6 capable clients with increasingly degraded v4 capabilities (v6 only

Re: No IPv6 by design to increase reliability...

Broken IPv6 connectivity happens all the time, sometimes for weeks, before some folks seem to notice. I could understand why one could take the stance that IPv4 only is less problematic (and therefore more available) than dual stack. Overall, it might depend on your application and the happy

No IPv6 by design to increase reliability...

I was having a debate with someone on this. Take a critical web site, say one where you want 100% global uptime, no potential issues with end users having connectivity or routing issues getting to your IP. Would it be advantageous to purposely not support a record in DNS and disable IPv6,

Hi Adam/Mel, Thanks for chiming in! My understanding was that the tool will combine historic data with the MTBF datapoints form all components involved in a given link in order to try and estimate a likelihood of a link failure. Yep. This could be one way indeed. This likelihood could also be
