* speedtest-netperf: new package to measure network performanceTony Ambardar2019-02-22
The speedtest-netperf.sh script measures the network throughput while monitoring latency under load and capturing key CPU usage and frequency statistics. The script can emulate a web-based speed test by downloading and then uploading from an internet server, or perform simultaneous download and upload to mimic the stress of the FLENT test program. It simplifies tasks such as validating ISP provisioned speeds or setting up and fine-tuning SQM, directly on the router. The CPU usage details can also help determine if the demands of SQM, routing and other tasks such as the test itself are exhausting the device's CPUs. This script leverages earlier scripts from the CeroWrt project used for bufferbloat mitigation, betterspeedtest.sh and netperfrunner.sh. They are used with the permission of the author, Rich Brown.
