Bandwidth tests

The Loop uses a number of tools for testing bandwidth.
The list below list the 'speedtest' tools together with notes.

Quickfire tests...

• UFB (tests against the UFB criteria)
• Consumer’s Test: The simplest and quickest test but not very good for diagnosis or validity.
  

REANNZ (KAREN) ...

• KAREN's UFB test tests against the UFB criteria) (Background)
• KAREN tests : Must be on KAREN for these to work.
• KAREN tests in full.
  

Specialised testing ...

• UFB and CIR calculations together with an explanation of the UFB
• JPerf test : A Open source client server speed test. Cross platform. Instructions here. Description here. (ENABLEs results)
• WAND's speed test (technical): A very comprehensive tool but it is a ongoing test and the results can very detailed
• Glasnost test for detecting bandwidth shaping.
• The perfSONar project (PDF) (for Loop engineers)
