We also have an instance of the Ookla speedtest at the University of Washington. One thing I notices is for clients on private IP space, the speedtest shows a NATed IP, even though the server is on campus. This is because not everything is local. Anyway, having someone send me a screenshot or tell me their IP address is the NATed address is not that helpful. I believe we are considering an alternative when our year is up.

I ran a version of that on a local server a few years ago.I got the premium subscription for a year but ultimately decided I hadn't figured out how to get any advantage from its ability to save test results into a database. I have since moved to using https://github.com/adolfintel/speedtest (which Clemson also mentioned) because I wanted a speedtest that was HTML5 and didn't use flash, and at the time Ookla's speedtest custom required flash. It looks like maybe its also all HTML5 now so maybe I'll take a look at that again. On Tue, Feb 20, 2018 at 11:56 AM, Fishel Erps <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hello everyone. I’m curious to find out what other universities are doing to test throughput, internally, to proof their networks. I’m looking for something that functions like Ookla’s Speedtest.net<http://Speedtest.net> (browser-based, no required clients) , but that runs internally (I have already contacted them directly, and been told that they only provide products that are alive on the public net). As we all know, % of utilization and available throughput are not one-in-the-same, and I need a way to address and diagnose legitimate performance complaints, live. __________________________________ __________________________________ Fishel Erps, Sr. Network & Infrastructure Engineer School of Visual Arts 136 W 21st St., 8th Floor New York, NY, 10011 LL: 212-592-2416<tel:212-592-2416> F: 646-845-6150<tel:646-845-6150> E: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> _______________________________ Please excuse any typographical errors as this e-mail has been sent from my mobile device _______________________________ ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss. -- Adam Forsyth Director of Network and Systems Luther College Information Technology Services 700 College Drive Decorah, IA 52101 563-387-1402 ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss.
