How to do speedtest with available package?

bagus91 · June 1, 2020, 5:33am

Hi, I ever made script to do speedtest and use the result to config SQM bandwidth automatically. Link here Help to make sh script for adjust SQM automaticaly
Now I want apply this to other router which have low flash & ram
the router is MR3220 V1 with AndyX custom openwrt. link custom rom here Minimum/Lite Firmware for TPLINK-MR1XU-MR3XXX-WA7XX-WA8XX-WA901ND-WA7X10N-WR7XXN-WR8XXN-WR9XXND-WR1041N & NETGEAR-WNR612-WNR1000-WNR2000-WPN824N (4M Flash ONLY)

My Goal is : create script to get speedtest result with available package, after i can get my download & upload speed. after i can get it, i can process the result same as my autoSQM script

this is available package

home someone can help share their knowledge for my plan

psherman · June 4, 2020, 4:59pm

You can use iPerf3 to measure speed through your router. However, you probably won't get very good results when you test on the router itself -- the SoCs in most consumer routers are not powerful enough to be able to process packets (as an endpoint) at line rate... they are designed to route packets rapidly, but they cannot generate or terminate them fast enough to provide useful data.

That being said, you are not running an official build of OpenWrt, so I don't know if the iperf3 package is available for your build. You can either switch over to an official build, or request help from the AndyX community.

bagus91 · June 4, 2020, 6:15pm

iperf3 is not available
i already post my packages list above

i was thinking to use scp to test download test.but i need use method to measure average speed when doing scp use packages above.
i have no idea To do it

psherman · June 4, 2020, 6:35pm

if you have the opkg package manager, you may be able to install it.

I will repeat that you need to keep in mind that you are not going to get meaningful speed test results when running on the router itself, unless your connection speed is indeed relatively slow.

Finally, you should direct further questions to the appropriate forum (not here) since you are not using an official OpenWrt release. Or change to OpenWrt official.

Conceptually simple, use wget to download a file of known size from a known site and just measure the time this takes. Slightly trickier for upload, as only few sites will accept anonymous file uploads, and wget does not handle uploads at all. FTP might work. But I concurr with @psherman many router's do not have the oomph to perform Speedtest termination in addition to their normal duty.

Grommish · June 5, 2020, 5:37am

Check out the speedtest-cli python script.

Also, I thought this was already a buildable package. My buildbox is in pieces at the moment, but I am almost sure it's there.. do a search (/) in menuconfig for speedtest

bagus91 · June 5, 2020, 5:40am

yup
i tried use wget and wget from this build not even show speed currently measure download speed only is enough for me to build auto sqm

i still can find out how to measure wget download speed while running with available package from this build
need script expert to help hehe

I can't install any package anymore because this build no opkg

bagus91 · June 5, 2020, 5:46am

I can't install any packages anymore
no opkg
for my other router, i already succeeded create auto SQM script with netperf package.and it work so good

Grommish · June 5, 2020, 5:49am

If you have python already installed, just get the .py file directly

github.com

If you don't have python installed on that router, and you can't add packages, there really isn't much left you're going to be able to do for quantifiable data.

bagus91 · June 5, 2020, 6:18am

unfortunately no python too sir
actually i wanna mimic real time traffic from luci

if i can findout how to get the data from ssh, i can use the data from specific tim while doing wget to measure average speed and use it as value for my auto SQM script

Grommish · June 5, 2020, 6:46am

Ah, see, that is a different question than you asked! Those values are available on luCi, so they have to be somewhere on-device. The real question you need to ask is, WHERE are those values kept.

Someone will be able to help with that, I'm not sure where it would be. Check your /tmp directory, as most of the sensor and luci data is stored there since it doesn't need to be saved anyway.

bagus91 · June 5, 2020, 6:48am

actually if someone give other method with current packages to measure realtime traffic is okay
that just sample, and i still cant find out how to get realtime traffic from terminal haha

Grommish · June 5, 2020, 6:51am

No, i understand.

Check out /www/luci-static/resources/view/status/bandwidth.js, as that is the page luci is using, it seems. Maybe it'll give you an idea how it pulls it, and if you might be able to parse it.

Grommish · June 5, 2020, 7:01am

If you really want to go basics, could you script out just checking the RX/TX bytes change from ifconfig over x duration?

From my WAN port

          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:3241032 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:734683 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:4189222576 (3.9 GiB)  TX bytes:113968899 (108.6 MiB)

You've got near realtime (loop it on a 5 second sleep, average it over 60 seconds, divide by 60?) data bandwith.

Grommish · June 6, 2020, 8:58am

So.. Check this out..

#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common
while true; do
   RX_1=`ifconfig eth0 | grep "RX bytes" | cut -f 2 -d : | cut -f 1 -d "("`
   TX_1=`ifconfig eth0 | grep "TX bytes" | cut -f 3 -d : | cut -f 1 -d "("`
   sleep 6
   RX_2=`ifconfig eth0 | grep "RX bytes" | cut -f 2 -d : | cut -f 1 -d "("`
   TX_2=`ifconfig eth0 | grep "TX bytes" | cut -f 3 -d : | cut -f 1 -d "("`

   RX_3=$(($RX_2 - $RX_1))
   RX_BYTES=$(($RX_3 * 10 / 60))
   RX_MBITS=$(($RX_BYTES / 125000))

   TX_3=$(($TX_2 - $TX_1))
   TX_BYTES=$(($TX_3 * 10 / 60))
   TX_MBITS=$(($TX_BYTES / 125000))

   echo "Averages bytes difference: download - $RX_BYTES bytes, upload - $TX_BYTES bytes"
   echo "Average MBits/sec: download - $RX_MBITS, upload - $TX_MBITS"

done

The output. I ran a speedtest while running it.

will try this one
if it success ill share my auto SQM with minimalist packages

i did test, and the result is amazing, ill my company vps to do SCP download and upload for speedtest

hi @Grommish, i got issue to kill the sh script after download test is done
this is my script

sh test.sh &
wget -O /dev/null http://speedtest.tele2.net/10MB.zip
APP_PID=$(pgrep -f test.sh)
echo $APP_PID
# && kill -9 $APP_PID
#echo "Kill PID"
#sleep 1
kill -9 $APP_PID

after wget finish i want to kill test.sh (contain ur script) to stop the measure, but my script above cant kill the test.sh process
alreayd try use killall, but always got output killall: test.sh: no process killed
i already add ur script to write the result in file

Try this one. It will default to 5 iterations, but you can supply a number of rounds to go before it quits..

usage: ./tesh.sh <# of rounds>

#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common
# 
# usage: ./tesh.sh <# of rounds>
#
# Defaults to 5 rounds

else

   TX_1=`ifconfig eth0 | grep "TX bytes" | cut -f 3 -d : | cut -f 1 -d "("`
   sleep 6
   RX_2=`ifconfig eth0 | grep "RX bytes" | cut -f 2 -d : | cut -f 1 -d "("`
   TX_2=`ifconfig eth0 | grep "TX bytes" | cut -f 3 -d : | cut -f 1 -d "("`

   RX_3=$(($RX_2 - $RX_1))
   RX_BYTES=$(($RX_3 * 10 / 60))
   RX_MBITS=$(($RX_BYTES / 125000))

   TX_3=$(($TX_2 - $TX_1))
   TX_BYTES=$(($TX_3 * 10 / 60))
   TX_MBITS=$(($TX_BYTES / 125000))

   echo "Average bytes difference ($a): download - $RX_BYTES bytes, upload - $TX_BYTES bytes"
   echo "Average MBits/sec ($a): download - $RX_MBITS, upload - $TX_MBITS"
   a=$((a + 1))
done
