[Cerowrt-devel] No legend for netperf-wrapper graphs

[Fred Stratton]

If it is confirmed that the servers are run by volunteers, I would be happy to contribute. I note their silence over past months. Running a server here is of little help.

Again, the Comcast funding involvement is unexplained. If they are funding the open vehicle, then they could pay.

I appreciate the links, but the point stands. Better I make the criticism than others less favourably disposed.

As for your router, it should be possible to restore it via a serial-usb cable, as I am sure you know. Have you tried to bring up telnet, like OpenWRT? That mechanism may be present, but I do not know what the default IP address would be.

I have posted td-stab and hub rrul graphs, but post is large and has gone for moderation.

Given that a number of ISPs have maximum transfer volumes by months I think it actually is amazing that there are some server available at all. I think that no one would complain and rather support it if you would volunteer to set up a netperf server to remedy your observed lack of openness, allowing others to test against your router. :)

My take is for the ADSL encapsulation tests all that matters is the average and the fact that is is averaged from 4 flows, so mentally multiplying the y-axis by 4 gives an idea about the total bandwidth used. The interesting stuff happens in the ping RTT plots, which you want to be as flat as possible with preferably no big increase once the TCP loads start.

I can let you (or anyone else that asks) know the addresses privately... I will probably add one in Japan soon and we continue to look for a hosting service that will actively help....
