it sounds like horizontal scaling with redundancy and potentially geographic distriubution on your network would be your big friend here. On Wed, Nov 11, 2015 at 12:34 AM, Lorell Hathcock <lorell@hathcock.org> wrote:
Good point. There will be no one customer that can get a 10G speedtest from us. But there will be hundreds that should be able to get a 1G test. Should any of them try simultaneously, I want to be ready. Plus I don't know what miscellaneous speedtests from the net to expect, so I want to affordably overbuild.

I want a server that is capable of handlilng a speedtest up to 10Gbps.
Do you have (or are planning to have) a clear 10G path to enough systems that want to use speedtest specifically to make it worthwhile? We have a lot of gear reachable at high speeds, but the admins of those servers usually care more about iperf and similar than speedtest.....
