Does AS15169 have a speed test? It would be nice to gauge the capacity to a particular network that's something laypeople could do. I could host something in GCP myself, but cloud is expensive.
Search “speed test” and Google search had one built in
Hello,
Hello,

> Does AS15169 have a speed test?Stadia speedtest is still up today:
"Google partners with Measurement Lab (M-Lab) to run this speed test.
Running this test could transfer over 40 MB of data, depending on your
connection speed. Mobile data charges could apply."
that's not guaranteed to be 15169, fwiw.
None of them are accurate. The one from a Google search gave me around 280Mbps, the stadia gave me 39Mbps, and Ookla gave me close to 500Mbps…

Browser-based speed testing is a crapshoot for anything above about
100M... Ookla has a native client for just about every client OS that
tends to be much more accurate.
Those are all M-Lab tests - Stadia and google search results. They’re not always certainly through Google’s network (I would have to imagine they’re typically not).
I have recollection of something like embeded quality testing on youtube.
I don’t remember if it was a speed test or a latency/jitter test.
I looked quickly to see if I could find it… But I couldn’t find it.
Searching Google for speed test presents a speedtest that runs on MLab, which doesn't necessarily run on Google's network.
“Accurate” is relative. Speed from location A to location B is what’s being measured and why I care about finding the correct location B.
Waveform leverages cloud flare’s CDN.
I have a worldwide fleet of iperf, netperf, flent and irtt servers folk are welcome to use, as I don’t trust the web best tests…
All of those links time out for me (at speedtest.cloud).
same here Josh. . .
No only that - NDT is not even an actual speed test*. That it continues to show as the top sponsored result for "speed test" searches is a real shame.
Jason
* It does not test the aggregate throughput of a connection, merely what one TCP connection can achieve. It is actually a diagnostic tool for network issues, not a speed test tool. There are many academic papers on this point.

15169 has enough capacity to external networks that a speed test from a random ‘layperson’ is never going to give you any meaningful information.
Are you saying that congestion doesn’t exist?
Are you saying that congestion doesn’t exist?
Not sure how you took that from what I said. No, I am not.
I am saying your request for a ‘layperson’ to run a speed test doesn’t seem particularly useful to identify that anyways. It’s not a first order tool.
What is the problem you are trying to solve for?
Is there enough available capacity for {insert whatever the customer is trying to do here}.
Can they run 4 YouTubeTV streams or can they run 20?
Can they download a file at 5 megabits/s or 15 gigabits/s?
There’s not a problem to be solved, but information of a variety of types to be gleaned for a variety of purposes.
