After 5 happy years of using Speedtest, we had to drop them this year for a 
2 reasons.


a) they tripled their price

b) their site which used to provide an excellent comparison between ISPs - 
at www.netindex.com was discontinued for some stripped down 4 country 
comparison site - http://www.speedtest.net/awards when it used have over 
120 countries.


The value of Ookla dropped significantly so we just let our license lapse 
and did what everyone else was doing and pointed our speedtest to:

http://uk2.testmy.net/SmarTest/combinedAuto
and manage with this free service just fine.

Re: Updated Ookla Speedtest Server Requirements

[Christopher Morrow]

imagine lorell has a userbase on his ISP service of lots of 100mbps or
1gbps customers.
Imagine some percentage of them want to test their network speeds.
Imagine enough of them are trying at peak times that 1gbps to the
'speed test server' is not enough bandwidth.

Perhaps he could instead run 10 servers or a 10g loadbalancer and 10
1g boxes behind that loadbalancer?

Do you have (or are planning to have) a clear 10G path to enough systems that
want to use speedtest specifically to make it worthwhile?  We have a lot of
gear reachable at high speeds, but the admins of those servers usually care
more about iperf and similar than speedtest.

http://www.ookla.com/support/a26461638/ 



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.

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.

Hello everyone,

Need to quickly turn up circuit. I've only been able to confirm these 
are in the bldg: TWC, ATT, Level3, and Cogent.
CaInternet is the only who can turn up quickly but now sure how good 
their ClearFiber is.

If anyone know of others, please share or PM me.

Thank you

Re: Favorite GPON Vendor?

[Art Plato]

Brian,
How complex is the troubleshooting side of the Adtran? We Use the Enablence 
Wave7 and getting any useful information from the CPE via the CLI is like 
pulling hens teeth. I have yet to see a way to view the actual throughput on 
the ethernet interfaces, only total bits passed, or the light levels at the CPE 
fiber interface. A bit annoying actually. It means a truck roll to get light 
levels at the CPE.

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

Updated Ookla Speedtest Server Requirements

[Lorell Hathcock]

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.

 

http://www.ookla.com/support/a26461638/

 

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!

For power we are using the Cyber Power CSN27U12v-NA3 units.
The clam shell we are using to put the ONT in is TA350 ONT NID HSG SPLICE 
(1187770G1)
All of these part numbers should be available on Adtrans website to look up.

We are also testing some iPhotonix ONTs but have not gotten to the point we are 
sure we want to deploy them.

PS I will post this in voiceops as well (it may be more relevant there)

recommended and supposed to be stable.

Re: [TECH] Pica8 & Cumulus Networks

An easy start with Cumulus can be their VirtualBox image which can be found
here
https://cumulusnetworks.com/cumulus-vx/
This allows an easy start for a small evaluation PoC.
