Show June 19, 2020 3 min read Ping adalah fitur yang mampu mengetahui kondisi jaringan internet. Di zaman sekarang ini, koneksi internet jadi kebutuhan yang mendasar, Berbagai perangkat saat ini banyak yang terhubung dengan internet, seperti PC, laptop, smartphone dan lain-lain. Bagi Anda yang memiliki hobi game online yang menuntut terhubung dengan internet, ping bisa jadi salah satu opsi gar game yang Anda mainkan tetap terhubung dengan internet. Banyak sekali kegunaan ping selain mengecek status koneksi internet. Berikut adalah penjelasan lebih lanjut mengenai fitur ping. Apa itu PingPing adalah perintah untuk mengecek respons client dan server dalam sebuah jaringan. Ping sendiri adalah kepanjangan dari Packet Internet Gopher, atau dalam bahasa lebih simple ping dilakukan untuk mengecek koneksi internet Anda. Pengguna internet bisa mengecek koneksi menggunakan fitur ini. Untuk memahami ping, sebenarnya cukup sederhana, Anda sebagai pengguna internet akan mengirimkan pesan lalu tunggulah respons balik dari server yang dituju. Jika ada respons balik dari server, maka status komputer sedang online. Dari situ, Anda akan mengetahui apakah koneksi internet Anda lancer atau tidak. Fungsi PingSelain sebagai pengecekan koneksi internet pada sebuah PC, ping juga memiliki fungsi lain yang bermacam-macam. Berikut fungsi-fungsi ping, di antaranya adalah:
Cara Menggunakan Ping di PCUntuk melakukan ping dalam sebuah jaringan, perhatikan langkah berikut ini:
Reply: merupakan balasan dari server Bytes: data yang dikirimkan Time: Response antara PC dengan server Google.com TTL: Singkatan dari Time to live, yakni indicator mengenai seberapa lama IP aktif. Ada beberapa jenis ping yang bisa Anda ketikkan selain cara sederhana di atas yakni adalah:
Cara Menggunakan Ping di SmartphoneSelain melakukan ping di PC, Anda juga bisa melakukan ping di smartphone. Biasanya para pengguna smartphone menggunakan cara ping ini untuk mengecek koneksi internet karena berhubungan dengan game online. Untuk melakukan ping di smartphone Android, Anda memerlukan aplikasi pihak ketiga.
Aplikasi pertama untuk melakukan ping di Android adalah Terminal Emulator for Android. Tampilan aplikasi ini mirip dengan Command Prompt yang ada di Windows. Ukurannya sangat kecil hanya 287KB saja.:
Aplikasi Ping semakin memudahkan pengguna smartphone melakukan pengecekan koneksi internet, karena dalam aplikasi ini, sudah ada nama-nama host yang disediakan sehingga Anda tak perlu memasukkan nama server secara manual
Baca juga : Ini Ternyata Bahaya Menggunakan VPN Satu lagi aplikasi Ping yang bisa digunakan untuk smartphone Android, adalah Ping IP. Hampir sama dengan Terminal Emulator for Android, namun Ping IP hanya untuk melakukan Ping saja. Aplikasi ini berukuran 1,6 MB.
Ping adalah fitur berguna dalam suatu perangkat untuk mengecek koneksi internet. Bagi Anda yang bermain game dengan memanfaatkan koneksi internet, lakukan ping secara berkala. Di dalam game juga ada fitur ping sinyal yang bisa dipakai. Pastikan juga website yang Anda gunakan sudah menggunakan layanan SSL untuk menjamin keamanan semua data yang dimiliki. Keamanan SSL menjadi salah satu indikator selain kecepatan akses dari suatu website. Untuk saat ini bagi Anda yang memiliki website tetapi belum memasang SSL segera saja buka website GudangSSL.id sekarang juga. Terima kasih

Here's a suggestion on how you can keep your server not being (too) abused: Require that routers make a "/tool fetch" request to a web server, and have the server return temporary bandwidth test username and password (ideally username on first line, and password on second line; for easy parsing). The username/password would only be valid for 10 minutes or so, after which, it would refuse to generate credentials for that IP for another... let's say hour or so. To actually add the user automatically, you can use the API. PEAR2_Net_RouterOS(1.0.0b6) - My API client in PHP

I considered doing just that - however I took the quick-easy-simple way to build it. If it creates any problems, then I will do just what you said. FYI - (With bandwidth limits turned off) - I have tested to the internal loopback IP address of 127.0.0.1 and hit 17 gig. And external to the live IP address at up to 8 gig. Also - if this is not abused, then I will consider increasing the temporary burstable peak testing speed to a full gig up/down.

I would guess that the lost-packets are due to my simple queue Max limit: 100 M Burst limit: 250 M Burst threshold: 100 M Burst time: 120 when the test exceeds the burst limit it will start dropping packets for a max of 250 meg when the test exceeds the burst time it will start dropping packets for a max of 100 meg

I just tried your server... on upload, I get my full upload limit of my isp, on either tcp, or udp. on receive, I only get around 50 mbit down on TCP, my connection is 100 Mbit, but that could be due to location, but on UDP download, it bursts up to about 7 mbit for about 1 seconf, then to nothing, I cant actually see any traffic passing, if it is, its very few kbits, but still shows 0bps on the graph. the actual interface traffic is a few, less then 100 kbits/sec. Not sure what happened to the UDP...... this happens every time I have tried the test. Testing from Canada hmm oddly enough, I do a send and receive I get my 7 mbit upload and 130 down. I should only have 110 down, but hey, that's better. So seems to be only on Receive only test. and doesn't affect the Both, or upload....odd..
Forum Guru
If you have more upload speed during testing than download speed during testing, I would guess this would be created by your ISP being over-subscribed. Where there is much more ISP download traffic to customers than upload traffic. Thus the possible reason why you upload speed may be faster. Or the problem could also be where your ISP gets their Internet feed from - they could also be over subscribed. You may want to try bandwidth speed tests at busy times and at least busy times and see if there is a difference in test results. A difference in test results may point to somebody being oversubscribed. This is one of the reasons I put my Mikrotik bandwidth tester on-line - so that Mikrotik network admins can test and determine such issues.

umm, yes, I understand, but when I do the test as " receive only" as UDP it jumps to about 4 - 7 mbit down, then to pretty much 0, ie NO traffic. If I run the receive only test as TCP I get about 50-60 mbit, tcp data, which is expected for my 100 mbit connection. if I run the UDP "both" send receive I get the full amounts of my connection, about 7 up, and 110 down. so, ONLY the UDP receive only test gets no download speed. I don't mean, 1 mbit, or 2, I mean Zero. well, a short burst to 4-7 mbit when it first starts for 1 second.
Member Candidate
ahh never mind. I have my last rule as a drop all others rule on my firewall, when I disable that, the download test with UDP works normally. as to why, im to lazy to figure out. everything else works, except this bandwidth test. odd.
Forum Guru
Another possible reason the test results may be off is the clock-speed of the remote Mikrotik device performing the test. This is why I am running my server on a 3+ GHz Intel CPU. When I run the test from an old RB 500, I get much much slower results. Those old RB jump up to 100 percent load quickly. On my server, testing to itself (IP Address 127.0.0.1) it will jump up to 18 gig throughput testing and almost hit 45 percent CPU load. (and this is a virtual x86 ROS running under VMware ESXi with many many other active servers doing other things also).

jebiga My parents are from around Bihac' This is the only word they taught me ! hahah

TCP is often much more difficult to hit full speed because of the protocol which requires return ACK packets. This is where distance between the test devices has a major effect - due to the speed of light (round-trip propagation time through the network). UDP is fire and forget. Thus there is no ACK return packet required when sending UDP fire-and-forget packets. So on long distance - I would expect UDP to almost always show faster results. And with the way the TCP protocol works, I would expect it to be slower as you increase layer 2 and layer 3 hops on TCP traffic.. North Idaho Tom Jones

Anybody up for a greater than 1-gig btest through the Internet ? I've got a 10-gig physical network. I would like to test with somebody else who has 10-gig physical connection to the Internet using the Mikrotik bandwidth test program. Something like an O-dark-30 after-hours test limited to 2 gig only for a minute or so. On my side, I want to verify my 10 gig connection is actually running faster than 1 gig.

You are welcome I can see from my logs that it gets some use. It looks like there has not been any abuse. So, soon in the near future (when I have the time to test & verify), I may increase it to 1.2 gig. I have the spare bandwidth here to work with. North Idaho Tom Jones

Very cool. Testing Seattle(?) to Virginia: [me@myrouter] > tool bandwidth-test 207.32.195.2 ... direction=receive remote-tx-speed=200M duration=30 status: done testing duration: 31s rx-current: 199.9Mbps rx-10-second-average: 199.9Mbps rx-total-average: 199.9Mbps lost-packets: 0 random-data: no direction: receive rx-size: 1500 I've often thought about setting this up as well, though we only have a 1Gbe connection and abuse is a concern, though I'd imagine that most people who could abuse it have better things to do.If you don't mind a suggestion, you may want to add a couple filter rules to track addresses running tests so you can limit them to a finite number of sessions per period of time.
Forum Guru
troy I thought about adding IP tracking. One reason I have not is that I am not that good on the Mikrotik when it comes to firewall rules needed to track and log IPs during a bandwidth test. However, I do know how to use Cisco access-lists with permits that can log IPs through my core 10-gig Cisco router to get from the Internet to/from my Mikrotik Bandwidth tester.

Some good news. I kicked up the peak throughput testing to now support up to 1.2 GIG bandwidth testing. With the original system, I did not see any abusers. Everybody was good. Please wait at least 1 minute between tests. My simple queue needs this time for the average traffic to drop so that it can again peak back up to 1.2 gig for another test. Below is a CLI method to perform the test (if you are a command prompt type of person): bandwidth-test 207.32.195.2 user=btest password=btest protocol=udp duration=30 direction=receive bandwidth-test 207.32.195.2 user=btest password=btest protocol=udp duration=30 direction=transmitIf you use the CLI method shown above; then look at your tx-or-rx "10-second-average:" when the test is completed. FYI information: - At this time, my Internet connection should have the ability to support this load at all times - My Internet connection comes out at Seattle Washington U.S.A. although I am actually located in North Idaho U.S.A. - If you do not get the speeds you think you should be getting, then wait about 5 minutes. Somebody else could be testing which could effect your testing. - I am not sure how well bandwidth tests will perform near or above 1-gig (due to the nature of the Internet connected routers and switches and physical transports) - Please post your positive or negative results or thoughts about this tester. - Please no abusers. The function of this tester is only intended to good and proper use - And I wish to say "Thank You" for feedback.North Idaho Tom Jones

Tom, This couldn't come at a better time. We're getting ready to turn up a new 1Gbe connection, and it will be very nice to actually be able to test it. For the firewall, here are 2 simple rules that will limit the number of tests that can be performed /ip firewall filter add action=reject chain=input connection-state=new dst-port=2000 protocol=tcp reject-with=tcp-reset \ src-address-list=btest add action=add-src-to-address-list address-list=btest address-list-timeout=1d chain=input connection-state=new \ dst-port=2000 protocol=tcp First rule will reject any new connection from any address in the "btest" address list. The second rule will generate that list as connections come in. I used 1 day in the example. Again, as long as folks aren't abusing it, great... but this may help if things become a problem.Another way to do authentication, would be radius, which could use an SQL back-end, easily managed by a web front end where users could register, be verified, then granted access. I won't pretend to have the patience for building something like this, but I'm sure if you were to ask the community, someone would be more than happy to step up and help you out.

I would like others to consider configuring their own public Mikrotik Bandwidth Tester systems also and placing them on-line for other Mikrotik network admins to be able to btest to/from with. I have had mine on-line for almost two months now and the last week has been opened up to be able to btest up to 1.2 gig (note a continuous btest will drop down to 100 meg). So far, I have not seen any effects on my business ISP network. If you have the bandwidth to spare, I would like to suggest you consider also making a btest server. From my point of view, I have the bandwidth and I have only heard positive comments and so-far I have not seen any abuse - thank you. Also - If anybody has a desire to perform any really high-throughput bandwidth testing, you are welcome to drop me a message and we can set up a time where I can crank up my btest server to be able to sustain up to 3-gig (Yes I have that kind of spare bandwidth).

novical - are you measuring what you are supposed to be getting ? If there are no abusers, I plan on keeping it on-line and available (aka long-term). I plan on keeping it available as long as I have the extra un-used bandwidth to support btest connections. At this time, do not see having to reduce the speed to less than 1 gig.

Yes, getting very close to what I'm supposed to. 25 up / 25 down, but there is lots of other stuff running so I estimated it would be closer to 15-20Mbps.novical - are you measuring what you are supposed to be getting ? That would be great. I would like to set up a test server too at some point, but it may be a while before I can do that so in the meantime it's really nice having this.

Great - I must admit that I did now know how well 1.2 gig would traverse through the Internet. I am thinking about kicking it up to 2.4 gig then later 3.6 gig - might do the first later this week. It would be nice if the btest server had a setting for how long a test can run to/from a client. If I had this kind of control of the server, then I would remove all limits and let it run up to 10-gig for 10 seconds or longer.

FYI - Although I am running my ROS in a VMware ESXi environment, I am running two Intel Xeon 10-core E5-2690 3-GHz CPUs (20-meg CPU cache) (Hyper-Threading disabled), of which I have allocated 2 CPUs to the virtual ROS. I was not aware that btest only used a single core. I might drop it down to a single CPU and see if it makes any difference. North Idaho Tom Jones

FYI - the Mikrotik x86 ROS must of crashed a couple of days ago - I just noticed it was not talking so I re-started it. 207.32.195.2 btest user: btest btest password: btest This time I put a network monitor on it to alert me if it happens to go down. I suspect I may of crashed it when I was performing some bandwidths from a 64-bit ROS and had all rate-limiting disabled. North Idaho Tom Jones

LOL - well somebody had a 6 hour long btest running. After a few minutes, my simple queue drops from Gigs down to 250 meg, which then continued running for 6 hours. For an hours long sustained btest, it looks pretty good with no drop-outs from what I can see. Good thing that I have several gigs of extra un-used available bandwidth North Idaho Tom Jones You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Hi, great work done. We used to use a Mikrotik router from a friend's network to do 'real' internet traffic test from our network towards his server. But his business is sold.... Anyway, I can use your's now to test again. We have a 300/300Mb simmetric line delivered to us over a dual hop microwave link from our provider. (24Ghz) After some ill experiances with previous provider we need to test that capacity once a month at least to see we really get what we pay for.... so here your service comes in place. We can use www.speedtest.net but results are all over the place and therefore very unreliable in my opinion. Either these servers at times, or part of my providers network or part of the rest of the (inter)network is saturated at times since sometime I can push my link to indeed 300 up and almost 300 down, but at time same PC connect to my CCR (=gateway) only gets 20Mb down...... Anyway I found your test server, very helpfull! BUT; I also have a multi session download bandwidth test program from Peplink (manufacturer for multy WAN load balancers) that works very nice (download only!) in downloading some standard files (MS-Windows upgrade for instance). With this little program on my PC I can open several downloads (4 program sessions) for several files and it will fill the 300Mb pipe up to 285-290Mbps considered we already have some 90-140Mb client traffic running. Done this many times and almost always can 'fil' by download pipe. But just now did the MT-bandwidth test from same PC and can only 'fill' the same pipe to just over 200Mbps. Actually, I could even run the bandwidth test from my CCR1016-12G and still can not fill the pipe. Max I'll get is 210-220Mbps max. Starting Peplink in parrallel and it puts another 60Mbps on top of it to fill the pipe to 260-270 this time.... We are now developing the 'feeling' something is wrong with our CCR settings. We also never can get the clients assigned (simple queues by PPPoE-server) internet speeds as we sell. But internal MT bandwidth test always completely fill the client's assigned queues.Anybody has any advice where to look for? Show your appreciation of this post by giving me Karma! Thanks. Rudy R.

One thing I have noticed is that sometimes my virtual ROS x86 bandwidth speedtest server running under VMware ESXi will sometimes crash - interesting. I can't ping it or talk to it using IP. However the VMware ESXi console to the ROS is still active and the ROS does respond to console CLI commands. I am kinda wondering if the problem is the IP stack dying when under extreme heavy I/O loads. It's a good thing this not also functioning at a production router under the same loads. Anyways - a reboot appears to get thing up and running again for another week or so. FYI - From my Cacti bandwidth graphs, it looks like my ROS bandwidth test server gets a bandwidth test around every 1 to 2 hours ever day. North Idaho Tom Jones

I tried your server from Spain now several times and best I ever got download was some 100Mbps. This is done directly from a CCR as our gateway router. We are on a 300/300 symmetric line and with other programs can easy push over 250Mbps. Doing same Mikrotik speedtest with its Window bandwidth tester from my PC gives me less than 1Mb, where a download progam with multiple connection almost inmediately downloads at 120-130 mbps and sometimes up to 280Mbps into my PC.

Wow - It looks like it gets used/tested against up to 50 times a day. And at least one person ran a 6-hour 200-meg sustained test during the last month. I would like to ask - if anybody has the extra bandwidth capacity - would you be interested in a 24 hour sustained 1.5 gig up & down test ? I am interested in an opportunity to stress test my un-used spare capacity under heavy load. Edit: or a bunch of testers running a 24 hour btest against me at what ever they can spare ...

Is the send speed limited (when running the built-in 60 eval license -or- do I need to do something (license) to kick up the vmxnet3 Ethernet send speed ? North Idaho Tom Jones

Forum Guru
Sorry about the can't connect. The problem is the x86 ROS keeps locking up. From what I think I am seeing, it appears that if somebody continues a btest bandwidth test - and my simple queue kicks in to limit them to 250 meg - and the test continues, then sometimes the TCP/IP stack on my ROS x86 takes a dump and no longer talks. The console is still responsive but nothing IP talks. When my ROS does this, it can not even ping the loopback address 127.0.0.1 - it acts like all IP traffic is just turned off. From the console, I still have CLI commands to the ROS. To get my btest ROS server back on-line, I have to reboot the MIkrotik ROS. North Idaho Tom Jones

I do use Watchdog I also have my own custom watchdog. I do not know whey they are not working when the x86 ROS IP stack dies ??? Something I will need to study when I have the free time. A note - Even if the watchdog was working - A watchdog is not a fix for the underlying problem - at best a watchdog would be network effecting reboot. One issue with the Mikrotik watchdog is --- when the simple queue kicks in and starts dropping packets in a RED (Random Early Detect) condition, the simple queue can and will also drop watchdog packets - which will result in un-needed reboots. My watchdog (netwatch with a script) should be working but for some reason it is not. My watchdog (netwatch-script-reboot) script will retry many times then perform a reboot after continued/extended ping failures - where the stock Mikrotik watchdog will reboot upon a single ping failure. Thus with only the Mikrotik stock watchdog - the ROS is subject to rebooting during a btest - thus the reason I do not use it. North Idaho Tom Jones

I thought I replied to this this morning - but I must of forgot to hit the post button. The reason I use X86 ROS for the btest server is because I received a free complimentary license from Mikrotik and I used it to activate the X86 ROS 32-bit btest server. FYI - I did try the free version of CHR but I hit some snags : - The CHR free license does not support high-throughput on the Ethernet. The free license has a limitation of only a few meg throughput on the Ethernet which prevents somebody from performing a btest in the hundreds or gigs of bandwidth to support a remote admin running a btest at 1-gig or even multi-gig throughput best.

You can activate 2months unlimited trial license for free. After that period you loose only the update ability. If you need to update you can freely regenerate the system Id and activate new trial license again. Haiku of the day: http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=109008

Mikrotik watchdog now set to 127.0.0.1
Forum Guru
Another lockup - the Mikrotik watchdog to 127.0.0.1 did NOT reboot the X86 ROS router - A console CLI system-reboot did properly reboot it. After the reboot, it was back online. Prior to me doing the CLI reboot, I verified the ROS could not ping anything (itself 207.32.195.2 & gateway 207.32.195.1 & 127.0.0.1 loopback) The only thing in the IP-arp print list (arp table) was the 207.32.195.2 mikrotik itself. This bring up a question as to why it did not watchdog auto-reboot - My question is - does the watchdog use a special call or function via an IP stack to the 127.0.0.1 to make a watchdog reboot command to itself ? The reason I ask is that I have seen some devices with CLI commands which the command is actually talking to itself on 127.0.0.1 to do some things passed to it from the CLI or programs or other ... --- Some other background information --- my VMware ESXi server hosting this X86 ROS has several other router/nat virtual hosted servers on it also (Pf Sense). The other devices all have 10-gig links (vmxnet3) never have a problem.

Every Friday (normally towards the end of the day) prior to the last weekend of the month -and- Saturday -and- Sunday -and- Monday morning, we remove all speed-limits to all of our customers (thousands of customers). All of our fiber-to-the-home customers become 500 meg up/down accounts -and- all of our Microwave customer have no limits. We do this for the following reasons: -1) We have the bandwidth to support this -2) Customers experience much faster connections than normal. It helps to encourage our customers to upgrade their paid-for bandwidths they are purchasing from us. -3) It gives us an opportunity to load-stress-test our network and look for areas in our network which could use improvements Although we only have a 10-gig connection Internet feed - we have discovered the total average customer bandwidth only jumps up an additional 150 percent during the last weekend of the month.Anyways - when we do this every last weekend of every month, it has the potential to effect your test results to our 207.32.195.2 btest server.

Question for others who use x86 ROS Am I the only person experiencing x86 ROS problems ? or Am I the only person pushing an x86 ROS beyond 1 gig throughput with a 10-gig network interface in a virtual environment ? On a related note... I have many times tried x86 ROS in a 10-gig multi-Ethernet environment under sustained loads from 500 meg to 8 gig. I have never been able to trust an x86 ROS because they often just lock-up and stop routing. I know my hardware is good and my hypervisor (ESXi) is good because the same VMware boxes also run dozens of PfSense virtual routers/firewalls at the same loads (up to 8 gig sustained). Sometimes I wonder are the X86 ROS lockup problems are because ROS does not support or have paravirtual drivers (for things like Ethernet & hdd), i This btest server 207.32.195.2 has been driving me nuts - since I started it this year - it has locked up well over 100 times !!!!!!!! I have replaced all hardware and rebuilt everything at least a dozen times. If I had to give ROS (x86) a score for reliability under load , I am sorry to say it would be low (close to zero). If I had to give PfSense a score for reliability under load, I would give it a score close to 100. I uave used both for many years. I really like and totally trust Mikrotik wireless products and Mikrotik hardware. I just can't say the same about their x86 ROS products - not good. North Idaho Tom Jones

Yes and no I have tried it. I do not have a CHR license key. The free version has built-in speed limitations. Without looking it up again I think it was something like 1-meg (or somewhere slowwww and un-useable). So - yes - I could run CHR with the free license, but btest will top out at the whimpy speeds of about 1-meg tops (or what ever the CHR free license sets the maximum throughput at). A note - Right now - I do have many remote admins performing regular btest tests several times a day at speeds greater than 1-gig.

TCP verses UDP UDP is a fire a packet and forget protocol. With UDP you can send many packets. Over long distance links UDP should somewhat retain pretty fast speeds. TCP is a fire a packet and wait for an ACK from the remote side protocol. With TCP, you have to wait for the remote ACK to be received prior to sending the next packet. As distance and hops and network routers increase, TCP will slow down. Additional information: TCP uses RED (Random Early Detect) which helps govern speeds. When there is no ACK received in a short time, the sending unit starts to learn how fast it can send before there are packet drops. UDP does not use RED. Some protocols using UDP might send many many packets and receive a summary of received packets. UDP is: fire - fire - fire -fire - fire - fire - fire TCP is: fire - wait for ACK - fire - wait for ACK - fire - wait for ACK - fire - wait for ACK - fire - wait for ack - fire - wait for ACK - fire - wait for ACK (Just looking at the two above lines I typed in - I hope you can get an idea why UDP is sometimes a better protocol and why TCP is sometimes a better protocol.

Every morning - first thing, I check my Cacti bandwidth graphs for my entire network to see who is pulling what amount of abnormal bandwidth traffic. It is sometimes WTF when you discover a huge spike on your Internet traffic by several gig-per-second then realize it was only the 207.32.195.2 btest server - lol Which brings up a question I have to those who often use it. My question is, for those with fast Internet accounts (high bandwidth), are your throughput btest results to 207.32.195.2 consistent ? North Idaho Tom Jones

Yesterday - I upgraded the 207.32.195.2 public access btest server. I tested it after the upgrade - everything looked good. However ... I forgot to re-enable the simple-queue to limit the bandwidth test so that it can't consume my entire 10-gig internet feed... Well ... Yesterday - somebody got a lengthy 6 gig+ btest -and- somebody else got a 4 gig+ btest - lol My bad - lol. I will try to not forget about the simple queue - because I do not want to saturate my 10-gig Internet feed or somebody else with a 10-gig feed testing to me and relying on my simple queue to not kill their feed also. Related info - I have seen it hit up to 9.8 gig on a btest to somebody remote out on the Internet testing to me a few months ago... And - if any of you ever want to perform a quick btest higher than 4-gig, let me know and I can setup something temporary just for you. North Idaho Tom Jones

FYI - This is a Cacti bandwidth graph of the last 24-hours of my 207.32.195.2 btest server. The needle like spikes indicate a 5-minute average of the bandwidth (up/down). Thus a 3 Gig btest executed for only a few seconds may only show a very small spike in the graphs. The far right of the graph indicates a 180 meg btest. This could of been a 180 meg btest for 5 minutes - or a 360 meg btest for 2.5 minutes or 900 meg btest for 1 minute or a 1.8 gig btest for 30 seconds or a 2.7 gig btest for 20 seconds. As you can see, the total traffic for 24 hours is actually pretty low (which averages out to a 24-hour total load of about 45 meg sustained over 24-hours), but the real-time-traffic-spikes can actually be very high - especially when I have the simple-queue disabled.

Good news everybody The btest server now supports 3.6 Gig testing speeds. The new speed settings are supported for both send & receive tests (up & down settings are now identical) I also increased the time duration for how long a 3.6 Gig test can run before it throttles down to a lower speed. I also increased the sustainable extended btest server to now support a continuous 1/2 Gig (500 Meg) NOTE: I have a few points I would like to clearly state: - Do not abuse this btest server - Do not use this btest server to create/generate unwanted & undesired saturation issues with your Internet provider - If and when there are two or more tests occurring at the same time (two or more different remote Internet locations at the same time), the simple-queue will rate-limit the combined tests of everybody. Example - two admins can not test at 3.6 gig at the same time. - If you run an extended test - you are also preventing others from bursting to 3.6 Gig or also running an extended btest- You are welcome and encouraged to post your tested speeds and where you are located - This btest server is solely intended to support the good purposes and good intentions of all Mikrotik admins To use this btest server, perform a Mikrotik ROS bandwidth test to 207.32.195.2 (test user name is: btest -and- test password is: btest)North Idaho Tom Jones Below are some screen snapshots of the simple-queue settings: You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

silverswood What do you get when you do the same traceroute again but this time using UDP instead of icmp ? North Idaho Tom Jones
Frequent Visitor
....you can traceroute with UDP. My "learned something new" for the day! Makes sense if you think about it though.
Considering you're trying to "receive" a UDP, there must be a tcp control channel for the btest that is telling the btest server to send udp at you, so somewhere it must be dropping it. I'll send you a PM with my IP and btest server if you'd like to test.
Forum Guru
silverswood Based on your last traceroute - I just noticed you are coming from an RFC-1918 NAT network (10.x.x.x). This implies you have a firewall/NAT device between your Mikrotik and the Internet. The firewall/NAT device may need a port-forward so that Mikrotik UDP packets from the Internet are forwarded to your internal Mikrotik. This may be starting to sound more complex to configure than the time you may want to invest just to be able to perform a btest to-and-from my 207.32.195.2 btest server. What might be easier would be to move and reconfigure your Mikrotik to be the live IP address NAT device for your RFC-1918 internal 10.x.x.x network. Then you should be able to perform UDP btests in both directions - and it may give you more control over what your network is doing. North Idaho Tom Jones

Just wanted to say thanks for your server. I've been able to test both my connections. One weird Mikrotik thing found: when uploading (10 megabit) the test server process makes a routerbord 450G's CPU spike to 100%. When just doing a speedtest on speedtest.net, it does not go over 10%

No, the 10. is the private side of the Mikrotik. traceroute must default to the default internal private bridge unless specified otherwise. Running the btest directly from the Mikrotik using winbox.

x86 ROS under load has a MTBF (meat time before failure) of less than 1 day. This is across all versions of x86 ROS for the last year. If you can not ping or btest to this server, it is 99.999 percent because it locked up again. This btest server sometimes has to be reset up to 3 times a day. I can only hope that CHR or anything else is better at faster than gig btest speeds. North Idaho Tom Jones

I am running the following configuration: - Physical server: I have tried Dell but now I run on a SuperMicro (SAS 12 tb hdd and 127 gig ram and intel 10-gig nics and two Xeon CPUs 10-core each with a crap-load of CPU cache.) - Boot operating system on physical server: VMware ESXi 6.0.0 (I have also run ESXi version 5.x - btest server is an x86 ROS 32-bit server (have tried many different fresh installs from scratch). - Virtual host (ROS) configuration: Memory 2 gig - CPUs (Tried 1,2,3 and 4) currently 1 - HDD thin 8 Gig - single Network card E1000E I have rebuilt and replaces and reconfigured everything to do with the btest server dozens of times. I currently have 20 other additional virtual host servers/routers also running on my VMware ESXi machine. None of the other virtual routers (PfSense) or other virtual servers (DNS, sendmail, apache, radius, syslog, cacti etc ...) ever lock up. The only thing that locks up is ROS - never anything else. When ROS locks up, it appears to be a complete loss of the TCP/IP stack. When it is locked up, the console is still alive and there is still an Ethernet link - but anything to do with IP anything is dead. When locked up, ROS can not even ping it's local loopback address of 127.0.0.1 If I had to take a guess at what the problem is, I would start with a guess that the ROS lack of paravirtual network drivers/support is the biggest potential problem. In my opinion, any x86 operating system without full set of paravirtual (tools, HDD, network, KVM) is pretty much a trusted brick if you are building a house - and only a brick. It is very frustrating !!!

One thing I will add, It appears that when somebody is running a btest at high speeds (800 meg up to 10-gig), is when the ROS TCP/IP stack dies. and note - I have some PfSense virtual routers on the same VmWare server often holding that sustained amount of traffic (near 8-gig sustained) for sometimes several hours.

A local btest to the loopback 127.0.0.1 comes out between 18 to 19 gig. There is still a simple-queue which limits peak testing to 3.6 gig up or down (and also limits sustained testing down to about 500 meg). You are welcome to hammer away on it.

Thank you for providing this server! Although I wonder why ROS does not correctly track their own BTEST UDP/Receive connections. I have same issue with UDP Receving like some other in this thread. I allow ESTABLISHED&RELATED in input and forward chain. But I have to disable my REJECT chains for UDP for the BTEST packets not to drop.

Hello, Is there any problem with the 207.32.195.2 test server? I cannot connect today, nor can't ping it, this is my traceroute:
but using ping.eu comes with transmitted/received packets 100% success.

Yea - it was down in fact my entire network was down huge spanning tree issue and native vlan issues across hundreds of network devices. It should be up and running normally now. North Idaho Tom Jones

Heads up - Because I am still having some network problems (non-related to Mikrotik anything), I have turned off the 207.32.195.2 public btest server. It will remain turned off until mid next week. North Idaho Tom Jones

new feature wish list for Mikrotik ROS and CHR I would like to see a new feature option in the bandwidth test setting (for server and clinet), where there is a new setting for maximum amount of time a btest can be performed. Example: - Where somebody connected up to my 207.32.195.2 btest server (from their client ROS/CHR device) and no matter what, the test will terminate after a set number of HH:MM:SS has elapsed. This would be great for both client and server in btest. One of the potential issues I often see with my 207.32.195.2 btest server is that somebody starts a btest to me and lets it run all night long. This can force the simple-queue to kick in after a few minutes and then slow down everything to what ever I have my simple-queue set for. When this happens, a second remote person wanting to also run a btest to my server may not be able to connect or get slower-than-normal results - or possibly not able to run a btest at all.North Idaho Tom Jones

I still think it looks good though. I have run a few tests with a dslreports.com admin and have had semi mixed results. Not Mikrotik related but just in general with high speed links. on my end, windows 10 is for sure the weak link. Some live Linux examples do better but anything above a few gigabit seem less reliable. I am using a CCR1036 with the 2 port sfp+.

Thought I would post a brief summary of the 207.32.195.2 btest server total data passed. On average, since original activation in January 2016: - The btest traffic averages out to the equivalent amount of data transferred as a sustained 40 meg load (yearly total average). - It has had hundreds of btest testing faster than 1-gig (up and down) - On average, somebody is testing to it about 20 percent of the time. - At peak times, I have seen it busy all day with different testers - CHR appears to work well as a btest server. - I do not suggest an x86 ROS btest server - it tends to die under heavy btest loads. - Because my Internet account is pretty fast, I have never felt any slowdown in my network while anybody is running a faster than gig btest. - Surprisingly, I do not think the btest server has been used in a negative way by anybody to create problems & network congestion intended to make problems to other ISPs or Internet networks. --- Also, thank you for posting your btest results and where you are in the world. I think this information helps everybody. I plan to keep it running in 2018 EDIT - Kinda funny, I remember when I first proposed a day of public btest servers...

So, not sure who pulled this off, but a 9.9Gbps out bound test for several minutes? I realize the whole test was not that fast but happen to capture some data. I have also save a copy of the larger Observium graph for the time. I then though to capture the CPU load on the CCR 1036 that was performing the NAT from public to private IPv4 space in LAN. Notice in the year of 10Gbps internet I have not seen that kind of CPU load and sustained bandwidth usage. You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Questions re the Mikrotik CCR1036-8g-2S and btest throughput Q1: What kind of UDP bandwidth btest speed to you get when you test to 127.0.0.1 (your local loopback address) ? Q2: Can the CCR1036-8g-2S be over clocked ? (Winbox -> System -> Routerboard -> Settings -> CPU Frequency) If so, I have found the following results on all of my Mikrotik devices: - #1; Overclocking to the second to fastest speed always works - #2; Overclocking to the fastest speed -almost- always works (sometimes it is not stable and then I have to back down to the second to fastest speed available) - #3; Overclocking always improves throughput. (to verify this - best to 127.0.0.1 at the default CPU speed - then btest again to 127.0.0.1 with the CPU overclocked). - #4; Overclocking almost never increases Ethernet switched ports, but always increases Ethernet software bridged ports (and increases routing throughput). - #5; I have about 100 Mikrotik APs (5 GHz running NV2) and throughput on all of them has increased some when the APs and/or/also Clients are overclocked. - #6; I have a very busy, heavy traffic WDS link between two Mikrotik 922UAGS-5HPacD (AC only & HT chain 0-and-1 & NV2 & channel width 20/40/80) distance about 13 km & average link connect speed greater than 468 meg) , when both ends are overclocked to the maximum, it always runs much faster. - - - If you test this , please post any btest throughput results. I am interested if others are also seeing a difference. North Idaho Tom Jones

The VMware ESXi box I run my CHR on is a SuperMicro has two 10-core Xeon processors with HyperThreading enabled ( 40 logical processors ). My VMware Summery reports: 20 CPUs x 2.999 Ghz Intel Xeon CPU E5-2690 V2 @ 3.00 GHz Logical Processors: 40 My CHR has only one CPU and 2 Gig RAM and one VMXNET-3 network card allocated to it via my VmWare ESXi hyper-visor. In my opinion - It's not only CPU clock speed that counts , it's also the amount of CPU cache built into the processor. CPU cache memory is way way way faster than external RAM on the motherboard. I am pretty confident that most of my active CHR stuff is probably running mostly in CPU cache most of the time. North Idaho Tom Jones

TCP and UDP are different types of Internet communications protocols. UDP is a "Fire and Forget" protocol. The sending device will send a packet or packets and not wait for the intended remote receiver device to acknowledge that anything was received. Kinda like shooting a machine gun - it just sends. TCP is a "Fire and wait for from the intended remote receiver device to return an acknowledgement (ACK) that a packet was received". After the ACK is received back by the original sending device, then the next TCP packet is sent - and the wait for answer routine begins again. Kinda like shooting a single bullet from a rifle and waiting for somebody to tell you that you hit the target before you shoot again. UDP can be great for something like a movie stream where if something gets missed , then you just continue on sending the rest of the movie. Thus there is no real guarantee that what you sent was verified that it was received. TCP can be great for something like pulling up a web page. The web server gets acknowledgement (ACKs) back from the workstation that the web page was properly received. Thus you get fewer communication mistakes. Let's assume the following (below) are some data packets you want to send - which protocol would you want to use ? - Packet 1 "Hello Robert , please " - Packet 2 "don't " - Packet 3 "call me on the phone" If using UDP and "Packet 2" is dropped/lost, then the entire message could be understood as something totally different" If using TCP, the entire communications session can be much slower because there is a wait time for everything. Now in your scenario where "I cant seem to get more than 300-800Kbps on TCP Download" , the answer could be that you are many hops away (somewhere on the other side of the world), and waiting time for a round-trip answer takes an extended period of time. With UDP, there could be multiple packets going through the Internet that the sender sent and has not been received yet - because those multiple packets are still traveling through the Internet. There are also some other possible causes of slow TCP traffic such as QOS, priority, network saturation, firewall behavior, symmetric or asymmetric paths through the Internet and others. I hope I partially answered your question. ((( lol - if you absolutely need faster TCP bandwidth to 207.32.195.2, then mabey you need to move to North Idaho - lol ))) North Idaho Tom Jones

I can consistently get 2GB's down (about 2.1-2.3 actually), but never really more than 1Gb up. Is there something I am doing wrong? I had the ISP come test, and they validated 2GB in each direction using their own tests so they claim the problem is in the CCR router. Is there a way for me to reliably test 2GB in each direction?

O come on now ... It's one thing to run a brief bandwidth test to the public btest server at 207.32.195.2 But it's another thing to run a sustained btest for hours or days non-stop. Although I have the bandwidth, the simple queues on this btest server will drop down in throughput rates when you keep a sustained btest running. Thus if anybody else tries to btest to the same server, they will never be able to see their peak throughput (because you have the simple queue slowing down the btest server for the next person wanting to test.) So with that, 216.218.22.xx and 94.142.173.xx , you are more than welcome to btest to 207.32.195.2 - however please make these btest tests brief so the next person can also btest at full speed.

no, typically you do not want the internet or random networks hitting the input chain. you would have to allow for this with a rule additional to default rules but you can also enable/disable rules based on testing or other requirements. As Tom said in his previous post about the btest, mine is not as accessible due to ipv4 limitations i have. Mine is NAT4 behind an address on a ccr1036 and is also available on ipv6 directly routed through the ccr1036. In my own testing the NATipv4 configuration is not a limitation in testing and has a port range to support testing.

First of all, thanks guys for offering these bandwidth tests. I'm trying to set this up as a script with the output to a file which will then be E-Mailed to me. The idea being that once a day, the router will perform the test. If I see substantial changes in performance, I can investigate. For testing this, I am using the following commands: [admin@RB750Gr3 #2] /tool> bandwidth-test 50.235.23.208 direction=both duration=15s random-data=yes user=btest password=btest This produces a correct output after 15 seconds: status: done testing duration: 16s tx-current: 12.1Mbps tx-10-second-average: 12.1Mbps tx-total-average: 11.8Mbps rx-current: 121.2Mbps rx-10-second-average: 95.4Mbps rx-total-average: 68.8Mbps lost-packets: 0 random-data: yes direction: both tx-size: 1500 rx-size: 1500 Then I change the command to: [admin@RB750Gr3 #2] /tool> bandwidth-test 50.235.23.208 direction=both duration=15s random-data=yes user=btest password=btest file="BW_test.txt" This produces the file BW_test.txt as expected, but not with the expected data. All I get in the output file is: # may/30/2017 11:28:43 by RouterOS 6.39.1 # software id = [redacted] # status: connecting duration: 0s tx-current: 0bps tx-10-second-average: 0bps tx-total-average: 0bps rx-current: 0bps rx-10-second-average: 0bps rx-total-average: 0bps lost-packets: 0 random-data: yes direction: both tx-size: 1500 rx-size: 1500 I never get any results after connecting.

BTW, ignore my typo of the IP address that I'm using for my testing. I really am using 50.235.23.218 RB4011iGS+, RB750Gr3, RB750r2, CRS326-24G-2S (in SwitchOS), CSS326-24G-2S, CSS106-5G-1S, RB260GS Jim

FYI - below is a cacti graph of my 207.32.195.2 btest server You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Anyone notice the pickup in testing between both servers and the sustained testing? You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

On the 207.32.195.2 btest server, I have been seeing some btest sessions that appear to not quit after a few minutes. I have seen some btest sessions that will go 24 hours non-stop. Hay everybody - please do not run sustained btest tests. These btest servers are intended for brief btest testing. When one person holds a continued non-stop btest, then other Mikrotik admins can get skewed results to the same btest server. Example - on my 207.32.195.2 btest server, I have a simple-queue that will auto drop the bandwidth after a minute or so to around 500 meg in both directions. When somebody holds an extended btest test, the simple-queue kicks in. Then when a 2nd Mikrotik admin starts a btest, then both admins are sharing a 500 meg max throughput session. I often see 5 btest tests at the same time - this means that when one person has triggered the simple-queue (because of a lengthy btest) , then all 5 Mikrotik admins can only get a slice to the 500 meg (due to simple-queue). When nobody in btesting, the simple-queue clears itself and the first person to execute a btest test can actually hit 2-gig and faster for a minute-or-so until the simple-queue kicks in again.

Re - the sustained btest Mikrotik tests We know who the extended non-stop btest testers are. We just use our Winbox and go to Tools - BTest server - Sessions (there is your IP testing to our btest server) Please play nice and fair for other btest testers and please do not hold extended non-stop btest tests. If you have a special need, we can and are willing to set-up something special for temporary extended testing. North Idaho Tom Jones

Re - the sustained btest Mikrotik tests Yo Mikrotk ROS programmers ... Is there a possibility of a newer ROS to have a new option in the btest server ? [ ] Enabled [ ] Authenticate Allocate UDP Ports from: [ 2000 ] Max Sessions: [ 100 ] Timeout per btest session in seconds [ 300 ]

I really did not want to do this - but I had a customer trying to use the btest server So I had to simple-queue a continuous non-stop btest from a remote location You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Here is the raw filter i am thinking of. ID the user source address with a timer of 5 minutes and then block all traffic for 2 hours until the next time. You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

It's almost the end of my work day and I am getting tired... Do you need to enter a specific IP address , or is it automatic ?

Post wars, its automagic and RAW is wirespeed

I am heading home Tomorrow I will make a backup and give it a try. 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.North Idaho Tom Jones

Forum and friends. I have just banned any address related to AS14868 and any related AS as i was just hit with a massive wave of btests. This isnt a business btest server, but rather a CHR in my home. It is free to use and conduct random tests. Please do not use my personal network for business deployments or use without my expressed permission. You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Well, this is getting fun. I have now blocked 176.0.0.0-201.0.0.0. Sorry for the inconvenience to the rest of my fellow testers. |
