<div dir="ltr">The friend of mine that I've been working with brought up a cloud node somewhere with ubuntu and netperf on it, and from another location (business internet) able to consistently get better throughput from his cloud node setup than from the flent-fremont node. We're starting to think that it's something about that node in particular. It seems to have a 125Mbps cap (so I guess about a 140-150Mbps line-rate cap?).<div><br></div><div>What kind of node is it running on?</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 21, 2017 at 8:13 AM, Aaron Wood <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:woody77@gmail.com" target="_blank">woody77@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I'd wondered about single vs. multiple, but I'm getting pretty consistent speeds from the flent-fremont node irrespective of the number of streams that I use (1, 4, 12, etc). </div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 21, 2017 at 7:50 AM, Colin Dearborn <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Colin.Dearborn@sjrb.ca" target="_blank">Colin.Dearborn@sjrb.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">I'm seeing a disparity between flent and the dslreports speed tests. On my connection at home (Comcast 150/12), I figured it was something related to the test implementations, but minor. But on a connect at a friend with business-class
Comcast (300/12), we're seeing a huge difference. Flent can't seem to achieve more than 120Mbps, often with an early, couple-second hump at a much higher speed. But dslreports' speed tests gets the full 300Mbps.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In looking closer at my connection, with sqm (cake) turned off, I'm seeing ~180Mbps download with 500ms of bufferbloat when I use the dslreports test (<a href="http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/20805152" target="_blank">http://www.dslreports.com/spe<wbr>edtest/20805152</a>).<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The current hypothesis that we have is that this is due to either traffic class, or the ports that traffic are running on. I've ruled out the ping streams, as a parallel set of netperf tcp_maerts downloads has the same 120Mbps roof.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It would be interesting if we could run some netperf tests using port 80/443 for the listening socket for the data connection (although if doing deep-packet inspection, we might need to use an actual HTTP transfer).<u></u><u></u></p>
