Manual:Tools/Bandwidth Test
136
Warning: Bandwidth Test uses all available bandwidth (by default) and may impact network usability.
Note: Bandwidth Test uses a lot of resources. If you want to test real throughput of a router, you should run
bandwidth test through the tested router not from or to it. To do this you need at least 3 routers connected in
chain: the Bandwidth Server, the router being tested and the Bandwidth Client.
Note: If you use UDP protocol then Bandwidth Test counts IP header+UDP header+UDP data. In case if you
use TCP then Bandwidth Test counts only TCP data (TCP header and IP header are not included).
Bandwidth Test Server
Sub-menu: /tool bandwidth-server
Property Description

authenticate (yes | no; Default: yes) Communicate only with authenticated clients
enabled (yes | no; Default: yes) Defines whether bandwidth server is enabled or not
max-sessions (integer 1..1000; Default: 100) Maximal simultaneous test count
