Updated Ookla Speedtest Server Requirements

[lorell at hathcock.org (Lorell Hathcock)]

Esteemed Legions of NANOG:

 

Does anyone have better and more modern recommendations for the hardware of
an Ookla speedtest server?

 

Here is the link to their recommendations.

I want a server that is capable of handlilng a speedtest up to 10Gbps.  I
plan to do this with an SFP+ port when my network comes along.  (As soon as
MikroTik comes out with a decent 10G CCR router that is compatible with more
SFPs.)

 

In the mean time I will just test 1 Gbps speeds off a copper GE port, but
want the SFP+ capability so I don't have to repurchase hardware in the next
year.

 

Thanks!

 

Sincerely,
