speedtest VS crusader

> https://speed.cloudflare.com

Love this. I'm used to use speedtest.net back in the day, but this is so much better in so many ways and provides so much more data.

Followup: I just tested OpenWrt 23.05.2 + luci-app-sqm + cake with https://speed.cloudflare.com/

With the limit set to 1 Mbps (1000/1000), my upload latency dropped from 80ms to 25ms, but speed was hard-limited to 1000/1000. With the limit rasied to 1G/1G, cake stopped working and my upload latency returned to 80ms.

So I stand by my original comment. You still have to configure the speed limits manually.

This is helpful, thank you. We weren't expecting anything being routed through a wall, just a longer cable. Speeds right next to the router on my phone were still like 20Mbps. I will try creating the two networks and seeing if that helps, though I still think there is something wrong with how it was set up. I've been using cloudflare (https://speed.cloudflare.com) for the tests which is in Mbps.

Cloudflare have got one now too.

What packet loss are you experiencing? Are you on wifi? If you do this test, do you see any packet loss here too?

There's nothing wrong with router or my internet connection, as I mentioned before I tried to download different files through browser and got expected speeds. Services like https://speed.cloudflare.com or https://www.speedtest.net return expected speeds of 500-600 Mbit/s (tried different servers)

I was semi-OK with the Powerlines, but the speed lose (I have 1 gigabit by my ISP, yeah, 300Mbps are all needed usually, but something itched me about losing speed just because; also, I wanted something a little more future-proof than being limited to 250-300Mbps top). Also, speed.cloudflare.com was giving me "Average"/"Good" results and IDK why, because using ethernet, my connection was always "Great"

one of my sadnesses is so few tests, except those designed by the bufferbloat project, test up + down + latency at the same time.

I like this new one: https://github.com/Zoxc/crusader/releases/tag/v0.0.10-testin.... My favorite remains the rrul test out of the flent.org suite.

Most web speed tests have nearly no predictive power for testing videoconferencing quality, although I am delighted speed test.net cloudflare and others have added a "responsiveness" metric that too few see... https://blog.cerowrt.org/post/speedtests/

I have been steering folk at this new test - called crusader - as it captures the essence of the baseline rrul flent test testing both up + down and latency at the same time - and as it is written in rust, runs on everything. https://github.com/Zoxc/crusader/releases/tag/v0.0.10-testin...

If you want to test for bufferbloat locally, you can run crusader on both the game streaming server and client.

https://github.com/Zoxc/crusader is written in rust and has a detailed staggered start test.

I've used my fork of your PR to generate bandwidth graphs on Android with crusader. Hopefully I can bump it to the real crate soon :)

I'd would be interesting to see the result from crusader with hardware-only queue, a larger FIFO queue and fq-codel.

I've been using egui / android-activity for crusader. Its state is a bit rough lacking proper keyboard support and needing git repos. Having the GUI in Rust does help reduce FFI. egui also doesn't fit the energy efficiency requirement of OP.
