Hi, Here in Italy the ministry of telecommunications has built a system for consumers to "certify" the speed of their connection. Most of the information is in Italian on the site https://www.misurainternet.it/ Basically they have placed servers is the major IXs and end users can download the client runs tests and obtain a "certification" that can be used against the isp for breach of contract if the speeds are lower than contracted .
The software is based upon ETSI EG 202 765-4, not y.1564, and at least the client side is open source with some English notes etc. https://github.com/fondazionebordoni/nemesys Brian > -----Original Message----- > From: cisco-nsp [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of > Jason Lixfeld > Sent: domenica 12 agosto 2018 21:39 > To: Mikael Abrahamsson > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [c-nsp] Internet speed > > This thread has me thinking about cases where a MetroE customer might call > and complain about throughput issues, and troubleshooting would normally > require a truck roll to hook up an Ethernet test set. > > Does anyone know of a Y.1564 client application, or know of any past work > done around creating one? > > I’m wondering if a client-side application could be a practical > alternative to > said truck roll. > > Sent from my iPhone > > >> On Aug 12, 2018, at 2:15 PM, Mikael Abrahamsson <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> > >> On Sun, 12 Aug 2018, [email protected] wrote: > >> > >> It also selects a public server which is outside of your AS thus taking > >> into > consideration the busy international links which are outside of your > administration andas a result for a 30Mbps package the measure shows 15 > for example. > > > > My experience is that speedtest.net works well up to around 500 > megabit/s, after that it starts to get unreliable.
