[OPLINTECH] Library Host Speedtest

[Karl Jendretzky]

Eric, 

If you're looking to stress test network segments, I'd recommend using a traffic generator like Iperf, and then monitoring the interface using either a SNMP monitor like Cacti, or a packet inspector like Wireshark. Those are my go to tools, and though the learning curve on them is steeper, you'll get a lot more out of it in the long run.

Subject: [OPLINTECH] Library Host Speedtest 

Our Library would like to join the Speedtest.Net Network and host a speedtest in our library. We are doing this because of our OPLIN Circuit upgrade this week. I want to know if anyone has ever hosted SpeedTest.Net Mini on a server. I have one setup but am having problems testing upload. We are using IIS 8 to host it and I think the problems are with posting to http size limit. 
For info on hosting your own: http://www.speedtest.net/mini.php 

Thanks, 
Eric Lochtefeld
