At the moment...
I am mostly looking to get baseline tests from various vantage points,
w/o sqm. Starlink throughput is varying wildly
from multiple locations. The latency seems to vary as a function of a
fixed length fifo. Increasingly seems to vary at peak hours.
Running tests for 300 sec to be sure to see at least one sat change.
Script:
#!/bin/bash
T=dishy-nick # a unique name for your site, + options like sqm on or off.
# other servers are in ontario, de, atlanta, mumbai,london - if the
lasers go up testing those become interesting
# pick 2 close ones
for S in fremont.starlink.taht.net dallas.starlink.taht.net
do
flent -t $T --step-size=.05 --socket-stats -l 300 -H $S rrul_be
flent -t $T --step-size=.05 --socket-stats -l 300 -H $S rrul
for i in 1 4 16
do
flent -t $T-$i --step-size=.05 --socket-stats -l 300
--te=upload_streams=$i -H $S tcp_nup
flent -t $T-$i --step-size=.05 --socket-stats -l 300
--te=download_streams=$i -H $S tcp_ndown
done
done
# there's an interesting rtt_fair test here, keep these for a baseline
worlwide measurement
flent -x --socket-stats --step-size=.05 -H de.starlink.taht.net -H
london.starlink.taht.net -H singapore.starlink.taht.net -H
fremont.starlink.taht.net -t $T rtt_fair4be
