can anyone help provide an example Makefile to cross compile single files in this repo https://github.com/linnway/speedtest-cli, to support mips/mipsel architecture
thanks
I followed this guide
Previously I used speedtest cli with python, it's just that my router's ROM is too small, so I'm looking for a simpler alternative speed tool that doesn't take up storage
The python version is used to be very 'slow' , I've never managed to get it anywhere near my 1/1 gbit.
While it works with the other versions.

You're only going to get as fast as your slowest connection between your device and the end point. High-Bandwidth is only guaranteed on your link to the ISP, after that, it's anyone's guess. Could be congestion, a slow interconnect, or anything else.
You might want to try iperf3 package as an alternative for real-world experience if the python suite is too large @jekseparo You can find public iperf3 servers to test against.
Thank you
I have also installed and used iperf3 and netperf
but there is an obstacle from my ISP which prioritizes local connections (BW IIX) so that the results of Iperf3 and Netperf are not optimal
Then how is speedtest from Ookla going to get around this? If your ISP selectively restricts non-local traffic, then unless Ookla has a server on your ISPs network, then it's going to be subjected to the same issues.. And if they have a server on your ISPs network, it won't be indicative of real-world
It is true,
here I just want to know in real how much BW is given by my ISP, with all the limitations that exist. both from the ISP side and my router device.
I just want to get a lightweight app/tool that fits my router's ROM.
Even if the results are not optimal
and for the time being the results of Speedtest Python with those in the repo in my first post, have similarities in terms of final results
You're wanting to measure two different things then..
-
Your connection to your ISP - This will be dependent on your ISP having a Speedtest/iperf server inside their network for their clients to test against.
-
Your connection THROUGH your ISP to the wider Internet - For this, you should just use standard bandwidth measuring tools like iperf3 or even speedtest through your browser. This is reflective of your REAL-WORLD performance. You then use tools like
tracerouteto figure out where the slow down is.
You can't have both unless your ISP is a Tier 1 backbone provider.

OK
Thank you for the advice

My ISP maintains an in-network Speedtest server (through Ookla, actually).. GoogleFiber also maintains a speedtest server. Here are my traceroutes.. Notice that each hop will increase latency and lag.. And keep in mind, I'm in the US going to Google.. You don't get more backbone than that..

You're missing the point.
The python version would never go as fast as the binary or web dito.
It had nothing to do with the ISP nor the connection.
It was reported as a bug on github, but I can't find it in the repo, assuming I'm actually looking in the right one.
It's also mentioned on the official github page.

I managed to cross compile with 2 repositories. both work fine on my router (mipsle 24kc)
