Ask HN: How does Ookla Net Metrics (speedtest.net) works?
How does Ookla Net Metrics (speedtest.net) works?
I am trying to find out if it is better than open source software like iperf. Also, please post any links which describes their algorithms or their method of measuring capacity.
- fragmede 17y agoWhy do you believe they do anything more complex than a file transfer?
- vkdelta 17y agoThe price ($500 / month for just to show a file transfer !! ) .Why does an ISP like Comcast would buy/use if it is just a simple file transfer? They would rather build an in-house tool.
- fragmede 17y agohttp://www.ookla.com/speedtest.php http://www.ookla.com/speedtest.php Says $500/yr and also seems to say it is simply up/down throughput.
