[Bloat] Re: LibreQoS CLI - in OpenWrt?

Agree, it is very cool; it’s on my to-do list to replace the speedtestcpp package with this. I run a test every two hours on my x86 router. That test hits the Ookla infrastructure, but the target server selection seems simplistic, and results are quite variable (or my ISP has +/- 500Mbps variances across a week).

One question I have is: Does this test account for *all* traffic flowing through the router during the tests, or solely on its own payloads? 

Ideally, as a CLI running on the router itself, it should capture 100% of the bidirectional traffic so its reports are accurate. If one or more nodes in the network are streaming video, that could be a significant delta.

The IQtests we ran on the IQrouter took all traffic into consideration, and it made a difference.

Cheers,

Jonathan
