Common questions

What must be configured for Network Optimizer Speed Test to report results?

The Network Optimizer container must be running, and you must set HOST_IP or HOST_NAME so results report back to your Network Optimizer instance.

Can the related Network Optimizer suite provide centralized speed tests?

Yes. It includes a centralized WAN and LAN speed test server with L2 tracing.

Can I deploy it with Docker to test LAN or public line speed?

A Docker-based self-hosted speed-test server can be used to test LAN or public line speed.

Why might a self-hosted speed test report lower download, upload, or latency results?

Lower results can be caused by server, network, or client-side issues, so identify the root cause in those areas.

Can non-technical users run the speed test themselves?

A self-hosted network performance tool can allow non-technical clients to test their own connection.
