[@KangJangkrik]

iPerf runs on plain TCP (or UDP if you want) whereas OpenSpeedTest runs on HTTP, that's why they're showing different result. OpenSpeedTest is more realistic because we mostly use HTTP

also CPU, this thing will hit hard on CPU, if you have a gigabit network and the host is only like an cheapo dd3 athlon you'll barely reach it. I also do this on my LAN that has fiber running from house to house to computer cafe, so I would know which connection is chocking.

[@nbogdan30]

I also found this tool recently and I think another advantage is that you can have it on multiple platforms to see how the network speed works. You can do the tests both from fixed network or wireless, both for short or longer periods. In my case I tested 1 gbps and it also depended if other devices connected to the server, this is not easy to check but the results I've got showed me that there might be traffic done by the devices that yourself didn't initiate. Once again thank you for the video !

[@benjaminlynch9958]

Open speed test is ok for home and amateurish usage. For a complete speed test of your network iperf 2/3 are the industry standard.Especially if you have to check high speed connections open speed test gives very misleading results. But I am sure your video will be useful for many beginners. 👍

[@James_Knott]

Speedtest to my ISP's server and iperf3 to my firewall give similar results, a bit over 920 Mb/s on a 1 Gb network.

[@AndrewHansford]

[@KryzysX]

Yet another winner!

[@lritzdorf]

Re: iperf versus iperf3, its worth noting that the latter doesn't have support for CPU multithreading (at least on Linux), while the former does. This probably isnt an issue for most users, but I've encountered it in advanced contexts (specifically, benchmarking an InfiniBand link).

Ah... thank you for the information, i still wondering why having a different connection before when compare two router for local network It doesn't need internet at all especially for streaming my games from PC to TV but this information help me a lot to know that local network can have a different speed connection depends on what router that used

[@ragnarok7976]

Funny story: Recently I was getting absolute shit speeds on my hard-wired desktop. I treid everything to get the speed back restarts, computer and router, drivers, etc. and it was always dirt slow. I did some research and people were saying my ethernet cable was broken. Now it was an old cable but I thought surely if the cable was broken it would just be broken it wouldn't be slow...but as I tried everything else I decided to just buy a new ethernet cable. Wouldn't you know, that fixed the issue right up and I made sure to route it better so the cable wouldn't get crushed to death again. I can see a value in testing your local network but at least in this case a regular old speed test was enough to point me in the right direction.

[@James_Knott]

Gb Ethernet needs all 4 pairs in the cable. 10 & 100 Mb only need 2. So, a damaged cable might work fine at 10, but not higher speed. However, negotiation takes place at 10 Mb, so the devices might think they can run at 1 Gb, but can't.

[@ragnarok7976]

@@James_Knott thanks for the context, that makes sense in hindsight but in the moment I couldn't fathom that an ethernet cable could partially work! Maybe one day I'll break that cable out (I still have it) and do some testing.

[@BoraHorzaGobuchul]

Speed can also be limited with all wires intact if the cable is low quality, poorly terminated, or poorly installed (close and in parallel to power lines, out-of-spec bends, etc) because of poor SNR.

[@Acorn_Anomaly]

Heh, reminds me of a story I saw on (I think) Twitter. A dude is talking about how the top IT guy in his company keeps an ethernet cable on/in his desk, labeled "broken". He was asked by one of the new techs why he keeps the cable, why he doesn't just throw it out. He goes, "I'll show you why. Take it, and plug it into a tester." New tech does just that, cable checks out perfectly fine. "Try another tester." Same thing, cable checks out perfectly fine. "Now, go plug it into your computer." Tech goes to his computer, unplugs the network cable, and plugs in the "broken" one. Network connection drops entirely. He swaps it back, it's fine. Swaps again, network's dead. Top IT guy goes, "THAT'S why I keep that cable, as a reminder."

[@TazzSmk]

openspeedtest is nice, but there are 2 things it can't do: 1) SMB multichannel speed test (because it's not designed to utilize SMB multichannel protocol) 2) 10Gbit LAN benchmark is rather inaccurate (usually measures around 4.5-6.5 Gbit, and inconsistently) which I think is the limitation of web ui/api

[@TheJamie109]

Transfering a file is also limited by the speed of windows file transfer which "doesnt multithread" (kinda). It becomes more obvious when you do large file transfers.

[@biergoggle]

Thank you, TJ.

[@lonewolfsstuck]

ik this is prob the most wrong way to do it but i setup an SMB share on a ram disk (normally like 8-16GB depending on the server hosting) and move a large file from my NVME SSD to that share then calculate the max speed. Works pretty well and thats how i tested my 10gigabit Mikrotik switch when i got it.

[@Its-Just-Zip]

7:59 The reason Windows routes everything through the hyper-V switch when you have hyper-V enabled is because technically once you enable hyper-V Windows is running in a hyper-V container. Windows can't run the hyper-V on top of itself because of how hyper-V is coated so instead Windows switches to running virtualized on hyper-v. It's a super weird way for Microsoft to have set that up, but it's the way it works . 3:50 it's going to be a bit pedantic but snap is specific basically to just Ubuntu and Ubuntu derivatives. Whereas flat pack is a much more universal Linux packaging format and open speed test does have a flat pack, so I would have preferred that image to have been used for the Linux option. But also I went looked and that graphic was probably pulled directly from open speed tests website so I can't really rag on Joe too much about that

[@mat_max]

I think maybe the snap is server specific, like the docker or helm containers

[@Yas_Sin]

8:10 I'm not really sure, but the speed could probably be limited in the device manager, because that's the way it is by default, at least if the drivers I came across are a good indication, you might wanna check it out if you want, as usual, great content

[@themusesquad8554]

Wow what a timing for this video I just did that last night but I've used a commandine app to do it

[@Black_Light_ST]

Finally, an easy tool that I can use on anything with a web browser.

[@CaptainKremmen]

Don't forget the obvious: Hardware. Long cables and different tolerances on different ports of your switch can make for different transfer rates, even of the same two devices plugged into different ports.

[@James_Knott]

If you're experiencing that, you've got crappy cables. CAT5 cable is rated for 1 Gb at 100M and can do more over short distances.

[@CaptainKremmen]

@@James_Knott Well, yes, but it's easy not to notice without testing, especially if it's degrading over time or if the device isn't doing heavy transfers.

[@BoraHorzaGobuchul]

Concur, at my parents' home the cable is not great, but ok, but apparently laid poorly, terminated poorly, and as a result some connections are just poor, and some even degraded over time to complete failure.

Not sure what's up with my router, but until recently I didn't realize it kept choking my bandwidth. I should be getting 30MBps download, and I do when directly connected to the modem. With my router however, after a factory reset it starts out at that speed, but then around eight hours later it caps out at 10MBps and never raises.

[@ianthehunter3532]

Glad to watch 2 minute ad. Anyway, next time it would be more useful to also tell how to diagnose the issues. Wired connection to my machine slows down tremendously if I open too many links at once, even if it's some random half-empty websites.

On your vmware what NICs are you using on the guest vms? I have found if you use the default Intel 1000 virtual NIC it is slower than if you use the vmxnet3 NIC. The vmxnet3 NIC is 10Gig. I get that the physical NIC is only a 1gig or 2.5gig it wont be any faster than that but my experience has always been better with the vmxnet3 NIC. And communication between servers is much improved if they are on the same virtual switch.

I set up OpenVPN on my home PC to access resources if I happen to leave the house with my laptop.

I'll quote this from Reddit "The maximum bitrate can easily exceed 100 Mbps in many movies, reaching 195 Mbps in Deadpool. Maximum bitrate isn't necessarily correlated to file size nor average bitrate: we see a bigger movie like Superman (76GB) having a smaller maximum bitrate (143Mbps) than a smaller movie like Deadpool (51GB) with a larger maximum bitrate (195Mbps)." In some cases, people report burst bitrates if about 450 mbps. So if you're not interested in watching high-quality 4k, sure, a 100mbps port will suffice
