Jose:

This is what I was looking for. I assume you have a PCI-E SFP+ cage line card in that bad boy?

Esteemed Legions of NANOG:

Does anyone have better and more modern recommendations for the hardware of an Ookla speedtest server?

Here is the link to their recommendations.

http://www.ookla.com/support/a26461638/

I want a server that is capable of handlilng a speedtest up to 10Gbps. I plan to do this with an SFP+ port when my network comes along. (As soon as MikroTik comes out with a decent 10G CCR router that is compatible with more SFPs.)

In the mean time I will just test 1 Gbps speeds off a copper GE port, but want the SFP+ capability so I don't have to repurchase hardware in the next year.

Thanks!

Sincerely,

Lorell Hathcock
