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. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Beecher" <beecher@beecher.cc> To: "Mike Hammett" <nanog@ics-il.net> Cc: "NANOG" <nanog@nanog.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 3, 2023 9:07:57 AM Subject: Re: Google Speed Test 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?

It would be nice to gauge the capacity to a particular network that's something laypeople could do. </blockquote> 15169 has enough capacity to external networks that a speed test from a random 'layperson' is never going to give you any meaningful information.

I could host something in GCP myself, but cloud is expensive. ----- Mike Hammett [ http://www.ics-il.com/ | Intelligent Computing Solutions ] [ https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL ] [ https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb ] [ https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions ] [ https://twitter.com/ICSIL ] [ http://www.midwest-ix.com/ | Midwest Internet Exchange ] [ https://www.facebook.com/mdwestix ] [ https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-internet-exchange ] [ https://twitter.com/mdwestix ] [ http://www.thebrotherswisp.com/ | The Brothers WISP ] [ https://www.facebook.com/thebrotherswisp ] [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSdfxQv7SpoRQYNyLwntZg ] </blockquote> </blockquote>
