An experimental Go command line interface for testing internet bandwidth using speedtest.net

speedtest

Command line interface for testing internet bandwidth using speedtest.net written in Go.

This application utilizes the pure socket communication in current use by speedtest.net instead of the older HTTP based tests.

This project is still in development and should be considered experimental, see https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli for a stable command line client.

Troubleshooting

Port Restrictions

This application will typically communicate via tcp/443 (HTTPS) and tcp/8080.

tcp/443 is be used for obtaining the speedtest.net configuration and server lists.

tcp/8080 is used for socket communication with the speedtest.net test servers. This is a custom protocol and not HTTP based.
