    Hello :)

    How do you measure the network speed of your server?


    I found the speedtest cli tool but i don't think that is very accurate....

    Thank you

    test from specific speedtest server ids to get a better feel of different routes and also iperf Network Throughput Testing with iPerf

    i.e. my Impact VPS tests https://community.centminmod.com/threads/impact-vps-nvme-kvm-seattle-launch-50-off.15498/#post-66354

    and my centminmodbench.sh benchmark script at bench.centminmod.com has both single threaded wget and multi-threaded axel benchmark tests. Example with ssdnodes.com at https://community.centminmod.com/th...n-kvm-vps-until-may-31-2018.14888/#post-63857
