Brian Higgins,Just to be clear, my implementation is done only upon one of our admins clicking the test bandwidth button inside the web admin console they use to manage their hardware, and it's hard coded to run only a single 10 second test up, followed by a single 10 second test down, it then disables the test button once it's been ran once. They would have to exit and re-enter that configuration screen to be able to run it a 2nd time. so while it's automated in the sense that it is launched programmatically through the hardware, it is initiated and requested by an admin.
It's good to hear the positive feed back - thank you.Tom Jones and planetcoop, thank you so much for sharing your band-width us. (bad pun)
As you can see, I am able to fill my 1G pipe at Tomjones =)
Although I noticed I can't connect to planetcoop and it looks like my IP block is in your blacklist. Can I be whitelisted for 162.255.156.0/22 ?
I have just added you to the whitelist. This should also allow you to run longer tests.Tom Jones and planetcoop, thank you so much for sharing your band-width us. (bad pun)

?They could also be subscribed.
any reason why?
I have try with 3 routers with 3 differents sim ...
in all of them I get "connecting....." and "can't connect"
what could be the reason?
Thanks,
I was trying 50.235.23.218 today and he must have it set not to allow Direction set to Both, if you do just send or receive then it will do a test. I tried it a few times in the last week and had this issue where it would connect then just disconnect right away. the second ip listed by OP dose do the bidirectional test if you want to try it also.any reason why?

I don't have a restriction configured on btest for one direction at a time.

Tdaddysimi - Thanks for the kind words & you are welcomeCould not connect to Planetcoops but could connect to Toms. From one Tom to another, thank you! great way to test out my small pipe when needed.
Hello, do you mind providing your ip? I can add you or verify why it didn't work.Could not connect to Planetcoops but could connect to Toms. From one Tom to another, thank you! great way to test out my small pipe when needed.
Which btest server did you test to & what part of the world are you in ?Just received an upgrade from 300 to 400 Mbps.
14 hops and established 413 Mbps!
ThanksI live in the Netherlands and used this server: 50.235.23.218
[update]
Just tried also your server:
UDP us a fire and forget protocol.Thoughts on Bandwidth testing and Mikrotik.
Using mikrotik you can get two very different results depending on if you use TCP or UDP... basically:
UDP will give faster result because it ignores any smaller packet loss and just keep stuffing packets down the link until it is full.. Not a very useful test in my opinion.
TCP has a default settings of 20 individual TCP connections, so its like several PCs working together on the same link, good to see what you may expect from say an office connection with several users (combined usage).
For end user testing I like to use TCP with just two Individual TCP connections, this gives a good indication what a single end user will experience, and will give much the same result as a good speedtest.net server.
Another note, TCP bandwidth testing put more strain on the Mikrotik routers/CPU, and can give a false slow result.
Re under clocking ...Hello, an big thank you for the btest!
Its great having that server for testing purposes, I did some tests for 2 or 3 minutes to verify the %CPU of the MikroTik rules and QoS and optimizations (wasn't necessary), I'm using my first MikroTik bought from a month, RB951G-2HND, an great product! Best of that price here, had to learn a bunch **it of networking LOL.
I am from Brazil and there's the results and traceroute, by the way, my internet is 20/4mbps (2500KBps/500KBps) *and this MikroTik is running 1xMIPS@500MHz, the default is 600MHz*, I underclocked it because it has so much power for my own internet that I don't need even the default clock, its for long durability.

The last test i saw was here: Dec/21/2017 22:26:32 I let you test for 5 minutes and then block for the next 55 minutes. I have added your ip to my always allow list for 72 hours.I can't get through (to either you or Tom J's, oddly); just unable to connect. It works from another device on a different network I have access to.
I have a new 1gbps symmetrical connection I'd like to test. IP address is 38.131.218.243 -- is it blocked on your end, perhaps?
Huh, strange...that probably was me; I'm in Central time, so assuming you're reporting that in Pacific time, my last test being at 1:26am here sounds about right. No traffic was passed, though, and all I ever saw was something like this:The last test i saw was here: Dec/21/2017 22:26:32 I let you test for 5 minutes and then block for the next 55 minutes.

I did try both TCP and UDP on both planetcoop and tomj's...no go.Try udp protocol.
With the interface name i will say a Routerboard CCR?Congratulations. What was the device on the mikrotiks side?
My NAT router pushing all this to btest is a ccr1036-2sfp+ with the same interface type names. Btest is obviously a CHR behind that ccr.Which CCR ?
it looks pretty darn fast if this is a btest !!!
North Idaho Tom Jones
I would say a CCR1036 or 1072... I may get a 1072 some day but i just picked up a cisco nexus 3064 for a tengb core.The thing is which CCR was used as btest client... has btest been fixed???
Bingo. That was my concern.The thing is which CCR was used as btest client... has btest been fixed???
Ditto - same question "... which CCR was used as btest client ..."Bingo. That was my concern.The thing is which CCR was used as btest client... has btest been fixed???![]()
Tom, we will probably need a few samples to keep hosting btest servers... wink wink.Ditto - same question "... which CCR was used as btest client ..."Bingo. That was my concern.The thing is which CCR was used as btest client... has btest been fixed???![]()
A CHR can do 10-gig with no problems. I have never seen a hardware CCR achieve anywhere near the btest speed as indicated in the graphical image a few posts ago.
North Idaho Tom Jones
planetcoop , Ya gotta admit - The amount of bandwidth and server resources we give/donate to the free/open btest project is totally way far beyond insane !!!Tom, we will probably need a few samples to keep hosting btest servers... wink wink.Ditto - same question "... which CCR was used as btest client ..."Bingo.

Tom, lets do it. it would remind me when the brazil based ISP or spoofing was 5+gbps and i only noticed due to interface monitoring... This is my home connection so nothing tested nothing lost.planetcoop , Ya gotta admit - The amount of bandwidth and server resources we give/donate to the free/open btest project is totally way far beyond insane !!!Tom, we will probably need a few samples to keep hosting btest servers... wink wink.Ditto - same question "... which CCR was used as btest client ..."Bingo.

Combined together , we donate a 20-Gig physical Internet connection exclusevly for Mikrotik btest admins - and at no charge but with all of the headaches that go with any such high bandwidth projects.
So yea ... If Mikrotik ever has a new routerboard, please consider giving two to planetcoop and two to myself (Tom). ((( Two because one of the two would be dedicated as a 10-gig public btest server and the other would be put into production to front-end our 10-gig business networks.))) ((((( or would you really rather see a 10-gig btest mikrotik behind a 10-gig Internet connected Cisco router ? .)))))
Yo - planetcoop - lol , wadda you say that If we don't get two free mktiks each , that we break the Internet for a few days and run a multi-24-hour-day sustained 10-gig btest between our btest servers.- really - yup - serious - well just kidding - or am I ???
North Idaho Tom Jones
lol - I suspect a lengthy/extended/non-stop 10-gig btest UDP send and a second btest UDP receive between planetcoop and myself (20-gig sustained total) could very well be noticed and felt at many peer points and router-inter-connects on the Internet between us. I doubt that all of the L2 & L3 hops and peer points between us always have an extra/available/free 10-gig of un-used pipe just sitting around that is not being used during all periods of a 24-hour day. I would expect to possibly see some saturated networks and packet delay and packet loss would occur along the connection paths which could have some effects for everybody in the world having traffic to/from/through any of the servers & networks sharing the btest to btest Internet L2 L3 pathway.I don't think it would be so problematic to kill the communication between you two in that case for anyone in the middle. But anyway, you could do that to see what happens. Maybe none will notice that...
