Excuse the double post, but after reading through this entire thread and employing some of the scripts that have already been posted. I feel relatively safe putting this out here. Please don't make me regret it.

Hello Garrison1701, I am the owner/operator of the original btest server IPv4 address: 207.32.194.24 & IPv6 address: 2605:4e40:0:1fe::
I just wanted to step in and welcome and it's nice to see another public access btest server on-line.
If you experience any issues or problems, you are welcome to contact me for how I might of delt with the same problem.

Thanks, Tom. I actually just set up a queue for burst at 4 Gbps with sustained speeds at 1 Gbps. Figured it might be bad if it maxed my connection briefly.

Heads up, I had to temporarily power-off the public access btest server I manage.

Here in the U.S. , there are thousands of business every where that have laid-off workers , and many of those workers are now working from home. Additionally, Netflix (and other on-line movie video sources) are getting increased bandwidth usage. In some locations, the Internet is experiencing much greater than normal bandwidth and some ISPs are experiencing problems. To help my ISP/WISP operations, I have temporarily disabled the btest server so that I can divert the normal ( peaking up to 2-Gig btest traffic) bandwidth to my customers.

I promise to return the btest server back on-line just as soon as my network stabilizes and the bandwidth is once again available.
This is the first time in over 4-years I have taken this btest server off-line for anything other than basic maintenance.

Everybody , be safe and take proper precautions to protect your ISP/WISP, business, customer and employees. And consider preparing your network(s) for a possible network increase of anywhere from 5 percent to 75 percent. So far, I am only at an additional 5 percent but I am getting ready for an additional 50 percent increase very soon to hit our networks.

A few minutes ago, I brought my public access btest server back on-line.
It is now running again - however , I reduced the maximum btest throughput (using multiple Simple-Queues) to 100 Meg.

Normally this btest server has has the ability to btest at greater than Gig Internet best speeds.
Because of the Corona virus pandemic and most of my customers now working from home and schooling from home, my ISP Internet bandwidth has jumped an additional 25 percent and sometimes peaks at an additional 150+ percent higher than my normal Internet traffic.

You are again welcome to use my btest server again. I ask that you please please please only perform short btest(s) to my server (because my Internet feeds are currently operating at much greater loads than normal.

Thanks for hosting the server! Just did a test in NJ on Comcast...actually getting more than advertised. I have 300 D/L and seeing 370..I'll take it.! 10 U/L but showing 12...nice...

Moving from DOCSIS 3.0 this weekend to 3.1 so will see if that has any impact at all. I dont expect it to but it will let me know if the newer Netgear is better or worse than my existing Netgear modem

Here's a tip for those wanting to test bandwidth. Especially if under 1Gbps.

I used my Azure account to create a Windows 10 Pro virtual machine in a region near me with a 1Gbps link.

RDPed into it, disabled the firewall for ease, and downloaded the Mikrotik btest.exe program (https://mt.lv/btest)

Using this, I was able to successfully test the capabilities of my link for as long as I needed, when I needed.

This doesn't take long to setup, and if destroyed afterwards only cost pennies.

Just tried it. I can get data when I transmit but I see no stats when I try to do a receive test.

Question - Is your Mikrotik behind a firewall ( natted ) and/or is your Mikrotik possibly firewalling inbound connections ( such as btest receive ) ?
Try putting a Mikrotik on a live IP address with no firewall then try running the btest.

FYI re the btest server I operate.

I've got a full 10-Gig Internet on order. In about 3 weeks ( give or take ), I will be able to turn up the btest server back to 3-Gig or faster speeds for remote btest throughput testing.

I was forced to seriously decrease the maximum btest speeds to only a few hundred megs a few weeks ago. With the Covid-19 Corona virus here in my service area, my ISP/WISP bandwidth took an instant 300+ percent increase in bandwidth because everybody started working from home ( including the school students ) - which nearly saturated my current available Internet bandwidth.

I can't wait to test a full 10-Gig connection with only one device on the new network and go to www.speedtest.net ( I hope the speed indicator dial says " You are crazy fast !" )

Hello, I want to know how to configure all the sim card slots of my LtAP LTE device kit, it has three sim card slots.
I only have active a one slot, that it is the second slot.
It doesn't let me activate the other two slots, it tells me that "only APN can be local!" And I do not understand because.

Some news , I have my IPv4: 207.32.194.24 IPv6: 2605:4e40:0:1fe:: back on-line again.
EDIT: btest user is --> btest and btest password is --> btest ( btest & btest )
I set the queue to allow btest-ing up to 4-Gig.

Question - Who has a 10-Gig Internet connected Mikrotik I can perform a btest to/from ?
I am now on a 10-Gig connection and I am looking for something to btest to/from so that I can check my 10-Gig connection.

Also - If you are btest-ing to my btest server - Please post your btest speed results , I want to verify It is running up to and over 2 Gig and possibly hitting 4-Gig on the top-end of btest throughput results.

Question: Has this ever worked for you in the past ?
Question: Can you ping 207.32.194.22 ?
Question: I want to verify --> Are you trying to Bandwidth-Test to my Mikrotik BTest-Server IPv4 address of 207.32.194.24 using User: btest Password: btest ?
Question: Is the Mikrotik you are trying to Bandwidth-Test from directly on the Internet and no firewall ? Firewalls can prevent some UDP and/or TCP send and/or receive btest from running.

Hi,
Found my way here from Google.
I have 10Gbps located in Stockholm, Sweden. Using CCR1036-8G-2S+.

Tested on: 38.104.52.187
10sec average: 2.9 Gbps/74.2 Mbps

And also: 207.32.194.24
I achieved 4Gbps both send and receive, however I did not run both at the same time.
Now I can't connect, but I guess (without reading trough every post here) that you have some sort of spam/flood protection that puts me on hold?

I don't have any devices yet that can handle 10Gbps (they are on the way) and I would LOVE to try this beast out on it's full capacity from the router itself.
I could also set up a BTest Server if anyone would like to try against my connection. However, this is a private resident with static IP and I don't want to post my IP here. Private message, if that is possible on this forum would be preferred.

Also a big thanks to everyone here for publishing test servers.
Especially you TomjNorthIdaho.

re: Now I can't connect, but I guess (without reading trough every post here) that you have some sort of spam/flood protection that puts me on hold?

Yes , I do have a Simple-Queue which also uses an Address-List.
My address list has the following types of Names ( types ).
- blocklist - IP address that are blocked from using my btest server ( bad guys who have abused my btest server )
- previous - IP address that have recently used my btest server and are blocked for a couple of hours , then auto released
- tester - IP addresses that are white-listed ( IP address that have unlimited access to my btest server - these are normally my networks that I manage ).

Also - my Simple-Queue limits the maximum speed of all running btest testing to 4-Gig ( all currently running btests at the same time in the 4-Gig rate-limiting queue ). This is to prevent my Internet connection from getting hammered.

I will be building a second private full 10-Gig btest server. If you are interested in performing a full 10-Gig btest , I am open to the idea.

Just installed a CCR1009 on a 1GB fiber connection. Wondering why i get must slower speed test results behind the CCR than just plugged into the fiber modem. Fast.com direct is 900mbps+ and behind the CCR is closer to 550. Ran the bandwidth test built into the router and Mikrotik app for Windows. Got different results there too.

Edit: Figured out that I forgot to enable fasttrack. Now I get full speed to this server when its not bogged down.

@TomjNorthIdaho was testing multi-threaded (30+), you may have seen requests for up to 200 threads (tested the same with public iPerf3 servers to detect if my ISP throttles per thread, which they do), in case your setup/logs thought it was an attacker, + have two ISPs (testing it out).

My ISP's ASN:9829, should be enough for you to figure out which IPs were coming from me.

If you're interested DM me, we can run more thorough tests with multi-threads exceeding the usual 8-20 limit as I have two ISPs (I use 24 threads on client devices and I'm able to pull aggregated bandwidth of both ISPs on the daily).

Re ... Maybe some FQDN can help in long-term? ...
One minor reason I don't use DNS to point to the btest server is that if I renumber ( because of attack or some other renumber reason ) , it won't have the script bots performing automatic btest following me. The script bots are the worst - automatic btest the moment my times-access-list times out , every hour every day every month every year. Yes I can configure firewalls and stuff but I also have a ISP/WISP I am busy running.

Re; ... it was working partially for some minutes. now it's again not working ...
Have you read my posts about wait periods between tests and continuous testing ?

I have a firewall setting on the btest server which forces the remote btester to do the following:
- Wait between btests
- Prevents continuous and/or consecutive btests

With that said - I just now removed your 185.x.x.x IP address from the must-wait list. It will again auto populate after you run a btest which will again require another wait period.

now don't get tooooo drunk tonight because you might have to fix your network at midnight :) lol

may your btest(s) be through the roof in 2021

Hello,
Cannot connect...
Happy new year anyway...

Yanncd - your post "... Cannot connect... "

- Is your Mikrotik behind a firewall ?
- Does your Mikrotik have a live outside IP address ( not natted ) ?
- Is your Mikrotik also a firewall ?
- Can you ping IPv4: 23.162.144.120 and/or IPv6: 2605:6340:0:1b::4 ?
- Have you tried TCP send ?
- Did you read through all related btest posts in this forum ?
- Is the ROS software version of your Mikrotik the latest up-do-date version ?

Normally , if you are getting a "can't connect" , then the problem is likely a firewall on your side.

i tried few times(~5) and I think i am blocked(213.250.22.). Well, tested TCP was fine, on UdP TX was ok, RX was terible (1Mb) instead ~20Mb

on this one looks a liitle better, maybe I was missing udp rule in FW

Hi Tom,

I wanted to thank you and at the same time say sorry. I didn't read all the rules and might have been running a couple of tests more than what you asked for (and/or more often than pointed out).

Anyway, Im done with my tests and I got the results I expected, THANKS A LOT for this service !!!

Im running this from Sarchi, Costa Rica (my ip ends with .163.144) and my speed is supposed to be 100/12 Mbps

PS: I might be blocked, and I'd really appreciate if you could unblock me, I promise I read all the instructions now and I'll follow them

By the time I checked to see if the IP address was blocked in the btest server , it had already timed-out and was auto removed. You are good to go for another test.

This is an FYI on the public btest server I operate.

The btest server is actually an x86 ROS server running on a VmWare ESXi server.

I got this x86 ROS server free from Mikrotik many wears ago.

You see, I wrote up an article for how to build a 10-port 10-Gig-per-port Mikrotik x86 router , then posted the how-to in a Mikrotik forum. Well , I guess somebody with Mikrotik was happy and thus I got a free x86 ROS license. ((( Thank you Mikrotik ))).

So now you know where the btest ( x86 ROS ) server license actually came from.

Hi Tom,

Something weird happened yesterday, I was testing a link with just 50/50 for like 10 seconds, I did the test 2 times and the second time I did I could not stop the test, I rebooted the router like so many times but when ever it came online it would start to receive that traffic, I had to block the IP so the client does not get this incoming traffic. May be the test froze on server. Just thought of sharing.

Are you using the newest version of ROS ?
Is your winbox updated to the newest latest version ?

Thu Feb 11, 2021 6:55 pm

Feb 11'th 2021

I just now updated the public access x86_64 CHR btest server
from ROS v 6.48
to ROS v 6.48.1

IPv4: 23.162.144.120
IPv6: 2605:6340:0:1b::4

btest username: btest
btest password: btest

Note: This btest server is Ping-able. If you can't btest to it, then you might be behind a firewall or running a firewall.
Note: Please keep your btest(s) brief. This function of this btest server is to assist Mikrotik admins in determining and verifying their peak bandwidth throughput.
Note: After a few minutes of brief btest(ing), your remote IP address is auto blocked and will auto-release in about 1-hour. This is to prevent extended long term btest(ing) which is beyond my defined time-limits to perform brief btest(s).

As always, your comments indicating what country/city you are in and your btest results are always welcome ( and interesting ) - thank you.

FYI: This public access btest server is hosted and managed by Tom Jones with Red-Spectrum Communications ( located in North Idaho USA ). The ISP I work for is owned by the Coeur 'dAlene Tribe , which is a Native Sovereign Nation ( .nsn ) located in North Idaho.

Did you know this btest server has been on-line since January 2016 ?

Try the btest during an O-Dark-30 when your network is the least busy ( something like 3:30 AM ). Perform four tests:
UDP down
UDP up
TCP down
TCP up.

If you hit 100-Meg ( both directions ) during an O-Dark-30 but not during normal busy hours , then I would suspect your network or your upstream network may be saturated when the network is normally busy. If this is the case, try this:
- During a most busy time on your network , disable all feeds to customers/servers.
- Perform the above tests
- Re-enable your networks.
If the results are still not what you should be getting, contact your upstream provider.

From your Mikrotik, can you ping 23.162.144.120 ?
Can you try a btest TCP send to 23.162.144.120 ?
If both of the above work but no other test work, then I would suspect a firewall somewhere on your side may be the problem.

What is the public IP address of your Mikrotik ? I can look at my logs and see of you are temp blocked by my btest system.

rosjordi ,
nice - you've got a smoken fast Internet connection ! :)

Questions
- It this test through a home or business Internet connection ?
- Were you able to perform a UDP download btest ?
- Were the btest results what your were expecting ( slower or faster than you should be getting ) ?

Thu Mar 18, 2021 5:53 pm

FYI - Just thought it may be interesting to know ....

On average , there is always one or two Mikrotik admins somewhere performing a btest to my btest server.
Sometimes I will see the btest server with 5 to 10 different btest connections running.
Sometimes, I will drop the max btest bandwidth limiter settings and see some remote btest hitting close to 10-Gig ( full saturation of my primary 10-Gig internet feed ).

Funny ... somewhere around 6 or 7 years ago ( prior to me putting my btest server on-line ), I proposed a Mikrotik btest day where everybody would post their IP address and btest login/password information. This was a thought to allow all Mikrotik admins test their maximum bandwidth throughput the world everywhere. ---- Well , somebody back then posted a response as what it would be called :
" The day the Internet died "
I think it would of been interesting to discover what would of broken ( so that it could be fixed/upgraded ).

Something I would like to see would be a Mikrotik torrent btest feature. Something that would create the ability for a Mikrotik admin to perform TCP/UDP torrent-btest(s) to dozens or hundreds of remote Mikrotik torrent-btest servers , where the remote torrent-btest servers can be configured with maximum bandwidth settings. So rather than testing to one location, a torrent-btest could be testing to hundreds of torrent-btest servers throughput the entire world.

Try performing a TCP send to the btest server.
Often , when a remote location is behind a firewall , a TCP send will sometimes be the only btest a remote firewall will allow/pass.

The btest server will throttle down after about 30 to 60 seconds ( depending on how much bandwidth a remote IP is driving the btest server ) then it will auto add the remote IP to an address-list ).
When it is in the address-list, that IP address needs to remain idle ( not connected to the btest server ) for 1-hour. Then after 1-hour of no connections from the remote IP address, the btest server will auto-remote the remote IP address from the address-list.

I cannot ping the BTest server from any of my locations across Czech republic (all different IP ranges) 93.99.x.x, 217.29.x., 37.11.x.x, 89.176.x.x

Needless to say I cannot run a btest
I suspect you have a firewall at or near your location blocking access.
Would you please reply with a traceroute to the btest server.

It seems to die at your provider gateway? From my point of view, since it is multiple different locations/providers from which I cannot access your server, seems to me like a country block by your provider.

Tested from a WISP on the Central Coast of CA (9m/9m plan)

Download via udp: 0
Download via tcp: Max 9.3, sustained close to that (results were reset by my subsequent test before I logged them)
Upload via tcp: Max 10.x, sustained about 5-6 (trying to troubleshoot this specifically--seems like we're not getting the 9m upload we pay for)
Download+upload combined: about 5-6mbps each

I guess the system blocked me at that point as I tried to run one more and it wouldn't connect. Maybe that first UDP test counted as one of my four allowed tests...

Thanks for offering the service. It allowed me to confirm that I am getting the rated downlink speed (9m) when other speedtest sites (Ookla, etc.) have trouble hitting that mark (guessing my latency/jitter is too high and that keeps those tests from saturating my connection?) and also confirm that my upload isn't where it should be.

Question to those with near 10-Gig Internet connections

In a week or month ( sometime ) , I will be turning up a new additional 10-Gig Internet connection.
Prior to me placing this in my network , I am considering configuring a new 2'nd full 10-Gig wide-open btest server on the new circuit, then allow high-speed, no-throttling and no-timeouts for those who want to perform some btest(s) up to 10-Gig.

This new 2'nd btest server would only be available for about 7 days , then taken off-line when I move this new BGP circuit into my network.

If you are interested , please post so that I know to go ahead and build a 7-day wide-open 10-Gig btest server.

* For me , this is also a way for me to verify my new circuit is working well under load.

Just performed a quick test from Sacramento, CA. My TCP receive throughput hit 1.4Gbps which is my provisioned Comcast/Xfinity downstream.

Thu Jun 03, 2021 11:41 pm

Mikrotik btest servers and how I use my btest servers in/for my customers:

I have two Mikrotik btest servers.
#1 , One of them is the public btest server you may already know and use ( IPv4: 23.162.144.120 and IPv6: 2605:6340:0:1b::4 )
#2 , My other non-public btest server is inside my network and behind some firewalls.

When I want to test & verify my customer's bandwidth-rate-limiters are working, I have the customer Mikrotik perform a btest to my #1 outside btest server. For example, if a customer has a 100-Meg-down & 20-Meg-up account , I should be able to btest to the public btest server #1 and see the correct customer bandwidth speeds for both up and down speeds. Testing to this btest server goes through the bandwidth-limiters to shape traffic bandwidth to what the customer account is configured for.
FYI - internally I always add an additional 5-percent to the customer purchased speed settings - thus 100 is actually 105. This allows a 100-Meg customer to use a speedtest on their computer and actually see and measure a little-bit just over 100-Meg. It makes customers happy when they can verify they are actually getting what they are paying for.

The #2 second non-public btest server has no customer rate-limiters. It is wide open. This btest server is capable of btesting at a full 10-Gig to my customers ( no bandwidth or time restrictions ).
I use this btest server to measure what the link to/from my remote customer Mikrotik-CPE is actually able to achieve in bandwidth. Example , if I have a 10-Meg remote wireless customer, I should be able to have the remote Mikrotik perform a btest to my #2 btest server and measure btest throughput speeds much faster than the customer account is actually configured for. So it is possible for a 10-Meg customer Mikrotik-CPE to btest measure speeds far greater than 100-Meg or even Gig speeds when btesting to this server.
By testing and measuring speeds far faster than what my customer accounts are actually configured for, I am able to verify the APs and backhauls are not taxed or saturated. If and when I see throughput tests that are equal or close to the customer purchased account speeds, then I know I need to perform some network upgrades to increase AP and network speeds.

If you operate a WISP/ISP network, something like this can help you know the throughput capabilities of your network - especially during you're most-busy peak hours of customer Internet usage.

North Idaho Tom Jones

Oooo - a un-related foot-note ... Sometime in the last week , this Mikrotik forum topic "Public-Mikrotik-Bandwidth-Test-Server(s)" reached two thirds of a million views. That's a lot of views and btesters.

psycoclan1 · Mon Jun 07, 2021 4:27 pm

Thank you for your public btest server! I found it really useful. I tried a few tests (now it think my ip is blocked), from my RBD53GR-5HacD2HnD with external LTE mikrotik antenna MTAO-LTE-5D-SQ and 2 x 5meter coaxial cables from UK with EE mobile network, the maximum I could see was just over 32Mbps down and around 20Mbps up. My ping got timed out though. The link to the specific EE antenna tower is -44 dBm

I am trying to run this test against 23.162.144.120 (user\password btest) on a MikroTik R11e-LTE6.
The BTest server respond to the ping request, but the band test fails (can't connect is the message).
The MikroTik has just the local IP address configured and the LTE APN, of course... no other customizations.

Where am I wrong?

If you you can't btest to my btest server over a period of several different days, then the problem is most likely a firewall config on your router or your ISP's router.

Hi Tom,

Greetings from Ohio!
Since I used the btest for the first time (and Mikrotik), I accidentally ran the test more than a few times while trying to troubleshoot an issue in frustration and now it no longer works, possibly being banned at your end. Would you be able to unblock? I apologize for the inconvenience and Thank you.

I honestly run speed test to my Vultr hosted CHR instance (since I put maybe the equivalent of a T1 through it on a regular basis) or just run to the office where we have a similar setup.
With that - a note to all Mikrotik admins who btest to the 207.32.195.2 server , I am going to be testing the above changes tomorrow.
I will post a final config and then ask for user input on how well it is performing.

Hi, just wanted to share some results from argentina. I tested both the 23.x server and the 38.x server. On both, I am getting 650-700 Mbps. This is for download UDP tests. For the 23.x server, I wasn't able to test TCP performance while on the 38.x server, TCP seemed stuck at around 20Mbps (when testing with a single connection or the default 20 simultaneous connections)

Thanks everyone for maintaining these speedtest servers!!! they are a godsend!!

Mon Jul 26, 2021 8:30 pm

btest notice:

This morning, I moved the public btest server to another VmWare ESXi server.
This is a Mikrotik ROS x86 router ( dedicated for remote btest tests ).
This was running on a VmWare ESXi 6.7.0 hypervisor and was just-now moved to a VmWare ESXi 7.0 hypervisor.

I think the Mikrotik ROS x86 license was properly moved with the ROS x86 btest server to the new physical VmWare ESXi hypervisor.
If you suddenly encounter some seriously slow btest throughput results , please let me know so that I can check & verify the ROS x86 license is correct.
FYI - it is supposed to be --> Level: P10 license

Thanks Tom. Funny enough, I needed to use it because I had a power failure last week and after everything was back up and running, I had some network strangeness that I wanted to diagnose using the btest server. Turns out it was a Docker container for my DNS service that I neglected to set to auto-restart. Sigh. Anyway, thanks for the response and for providing this excellent service.

Cheers.

Mon Aug 09, 2021 7:32 pm

I'm a big fan of complex networks - however ...
I always prefer lots of small, fast easy-to-understand components in the network instead of large do-everything components.
With large do-everything servers, when something fails , then everything fails , which often results in lots of time trying to find out what part of the do-everything server is broken.
With small specialized network components, a server failure is localized to a specific function and any problems are usually is easy to locate and fix.

Sooo, the next time, somebody says , hey lets get a single server that's a switch & router & firewall and everything , I'm going go @#$@#! on somebody.

@North Idaho Tom Jones Many thanks!
2/4/8gb connections are a fairly new product here in NZ for SME and home user market and far and few have got them yet. That's why I looked for a btest server that could give me some figures. You are a legend for offering your server.

I did like the idea of the community globally coming together to offer what they can and with general rules and guidance, people all over the planet can register btest server/client service that would be closer to their geo-location. We can only dream....

jedan71 · Wed Aug 18, 2021 10:13 am

just taken the gamble and gone to testing stream 6.49beta54 as it had fixes for GPON which my product is meant to be, on my RB4011, not bad for Wellington NZ.

Wed Aug 18, 2021 7:49 pm

jedan71

You mention GPON

I would like to ask what are your plans with GPON and Mikrotik ?
Are you planning on inserting a SFP GPON module into a Mikrotik with the intention of using the Mikrotik ( with SFP GPON module ) as a remote ONT ( remote client GPON device ) ?
Or - are you planning to use the Mikrotik as a firewall/NAT device behind a 3'rd party ONT ?

Are you currently running btest's ( to/from my btest server ) using a Mikrotik that is behind an ONT or from a Mikrotik that is acting like as a ONT with a SFP GPON module installed ?

We do fiber-to-the-home ( GPON ) , and I have been searching for reliable methods and parts to make a Mikrotik function as an ONT.

Hi Tom, GPON technology version for fibre here in NZ is only limited to 3 cities and in certain areas only at the moment, with 2/4/8Gb offerings. I have the 4000 offerings.
My setup is a Nokia ONT in bridge mode with my Mikrotik RB4011 as an edge point with SFP+ eth. I did a greater throughput once I went to the pre-release FW 6.49beta54 from initial testing of 1.4/1.5 to 2.5+

How can I limit the bandwidth for the bt server? When I'm playing online games and somebody does a speed test it kills my connection.

I am not sure I understand your question.

Are you asking how to limit bandwidth to the public access Mikrotik btest server I manage ?
- When you run a btest, there is an option to set the bandwidth

I want to limit the btest server to about 900Mbps to have a reservation of about 50Mbps for my permanent traffic, any qos-like way.

Another question is if I can limit the execution time for bandwidth tests to avoid people running tests for hours

My home connection runs over an R11e-LTE6 installed in an RBLHGR. Got this while at least one person was watching netflix, possibly two. We live in Elkmont, AL and if it wasn't for the LTE connection we would be stuck with a 10Mbps down, 512k up dsl connection

Hi, I just enabled a bandwidth test over a 1gbps ftth line

Check it and tell me if something is nor working.

Edit: I shutdown the bt server, it's imposible to play online when anybody do a test.

Re: ... I shutdown the bt server, it's imposible to play online when anybody do a test. ...

If you are still interested in running a public access btest server , consider what I do to save on bandwidth.
I have a mix of Simple-Queues and Address-Lists.
The Simple-Queues, limit how fast a btest can run ( limit btest traffic so that it does not kill your network when a remote btester is btesting at very fast btest speeds. Also , the Simple-Queues limit how long a remote btest session can run before it limits total btest traffic to a very slow rate.
The Address-Lists , force a time-wait period where a remote btester has to wait until they can run a remote btest again.

If you are interested , I can post an export of my btest server configuration --or-- If you PM me your btest IP address and login info, I could remotely configure it for so that you have a turn-key public access btest server that fits inside your maximum allowable bandwidth specifications so that your network does not hit a bandwidth wall when a fast btester is btesting to your btest server.

On the topic of public access btest servers ...
It would be nice if Mikrotik operated an official Mikrotik public access btest server.
It wouldn't need to support Gig+ btest speeds ( although that would be nice ) . Even it was max rate limited to 10 or 100 Meg peak btest traffic , I bet it would be used.

Edit: And if they were to do this ... It would be nice if they ( Mikrotik ) were to post a working btest server configuration where other network administrators could use this information to build their own public ( or private ) btest servers. Where the btest server has some simple settings to limit Maximum btest bandwidth and Address-Lists ( where the Address-Lists contain a white-list and grey-list for how often a remote btest session can be run from a remote IP address to the hosted btest server ).

Hello Tom,

I'm connecting from Johannesburg South Africa.

Thank you for running this server.

Here are my ipv4 results.

Here are my ipv6 results which have been very useful in evaluating the ipv6 performance on my rb3011 as I cannot find a local ipv6 capable bandwidth or speedtest ipv6 server, I can see some substantial packet loss when routing over Cogent's network which I will speak to my ISP about.

Kind regards

* If you can ping it, are you able to do a TCP send to my server ?

* In looking at your traceroute , it appears you are behind a NATted/firewall router. This might be your problem if you can't receive UDP packets.
* Normally , I suggest a remote btester testing my my btest server to use a Mikrotik router with a Live-IP-Address and no firewall rules.
** Also , wait several minutes between btest tests. My btest server allows a minimum amount of connections/bandwidth to each remote btest user , then the remote btest admin will be btest blocked for up to 1-hour ( forced to wait between btests ). I do this to protect my Internet feed to my ISP business so that I am not saturated with sustained 3-Gig traffic which can have a negative effect on my business.

I would come visit but its just like visiting any Province............. not like let say the Red Rock of Sedona Arizona which cannot be experienced just anywhere.
However, I could be convinced! What are some of the attractions in your neck of the woods,

Around xmas, I get easily distracted.

anav , are you getting much of our North Idaho snow up there in Canada ?
Do your outdoor towers look like this picture ? At least you can still see that it is a tower. How many normal size APs can you count on the tower ? ( hint more than a dozen ).

Some quick stats. I wasn't able to get through with IPv4, only IPv6.

Device: RB5009UG+S+IN
Location: Des Moines, Iowa, United States
Ports: Internet in ether1, LAN in ether2
Expected service (residential): 1Gbps down/50 Mbps up

Test results:
Tx/Rx Current: 57.1 Mbps/942.5 Mbps
Tx/Rx 10s Average: 57.3 Mbps/942.3 Mbps
Tx/Rx Total Average: 60.5 Mbps/941.8 Mbps

Thanks for hosting the test server!

As soon as I try to use btest with this server on ipv4 (23.162.144.120) the test starts, then just sits 'running' but with no numbers coming through, and then it looks like I am firewalled - I no longer receive ICMP ping replies.

Have tried from two different routers at different locations / IP addresses just now.

In both cases I am behind a Draytek 2860. I have all the DDOS defence stuff turned off though.

I have just tried from home. Same ISP, but no Draytek in the way, and it works from here. Strange.

Any ideas?

Depending on where you start with the test, you can sometimes generate that much traffic that you are effectively saturating your connection completely.
I am not sure anymore where I saw it but recommendation was to leave at least "some" % of your bandwidth available for "other" traffic when passing LAN (such as your management connection, a ping, ...whatever)
I've seen it as well, even to the point winbox simply disconnected when I hit "start". At that time I had a powerline with at best 90mbs bandwidth. A test with a stupid mAP (100Mb eth) towards Hex over that powerline was enough to blow the pipes (I do have replaced that connection with proper CAT6 in the mean time, yes).

If you're running the test directly from a device which is connected to the internet, this should not be a problem. Which is what you are seeing.
You're not saturating your LAN connection then.

Try to set a limit in local TX speed, just a bit under your max bandwidth on your local network when passing LAN.

Tested on January 25th 2022, results are Tx 94.6 Mbps Rx 81.9 Mbps. This test server is a proof that it's my provider who's limiting my connection to 100 Mbps, not my router (I'm paying for 600 Mbps now).

Whoa - one moment here ...

If/when you are performing a btest using tcp , there is normally a Ack/Nak delay response time. This is more apparent when there are many hops and/or great distances between your Mikrotik and the remote Mikrotik you are btest-ing to/from with tcp. This is because there are Acks required to be send & received to receive the next packet. ( note - there will be Ack/Nak packets between every layer-3 router to the next layer-3 router in all of the layer-3 hops to your device ( probably a similar layer-3 router hop path when using a traceroute )

If/when you are performing a btest using udp , there no Ack/Nak packets that need to be sent or receives. In general , udp is a fire ( send ) and forget. Thus when using a Mikrotik btest ( udp ) , the send & receive test results may show faster throughput ( because you are not waiting for Ack packets ).

However , in your case , if you have a 600 Meg Internet connection , you should be able to expect something faster than 100 Meg on a btest. Have you checked to verify all of your ethernet connections are 1-Gig connections and that nothing on your side has a 100-Meg Ethernet connection.

From the Philippines, 500/500 fiber. This is on ipv6. It seemed to only test TX. I tried a second test for Receive later, but it wouldn't connect.

I also tried the ipv4 test, but it was really slow, and when I tried a second time (after more than 5 minutes) it wouldn't connect again.

Are you testing using UDP ?
What type Mikrotik are you using ?
If using a CHR , what is your Interface speed and license ?

Send was using UDP, Receive did not do a transfer on UDP, used TCP.

Hi Tom, thanks for the quick reply.
I cant ping 23.162.144.120, it times out. I am trying to ping from the WAN interface.
It is also a firewall, I've tried disabling the custom rules I added to no effect. The only other rules in the table are defconf.
External IP is 99.255.71.X /23

All 4 tests time out.

Hmmm - can't ping ....
- can you ping 8.8.8.8
- can you ping www.yahoo.com
- You are able to get on to the Internet and pull up web pages through the Mikrotik ?
- Please supply a traceroute to 23.162.144.120

My btest server should always answer a ping. I suspect there is a firewall somewhere near your side of the Internet. Based on your pings and traceroute , I may be able to figure out where the issue is.

What are you getting for speed ?
Be sure not to run to long of a btest server ( about 5 to 10 seconds - just enough time to see what it is peaking at ).
Note : UDP is a pretty good indicator for what your Internet pipe size is.

I can't connect again. Ping is also timing out.
