Bandwidth Test Utility

The Bandwidth Test utility’s function is to test in real time the performance of a link between two devices. The tool is designed as a client server model and the link can be Ethernet or wireless. Best of all, the test can be conducted between two RouterOS devices or between a Windows PC and a RouterOS device or even between two Windows PC’s.

As described previously, the tool is designed as two pieces, a client and a server. The client sends traffic to the server to create an upload test and the server sends traffic back to test the download speed. All results are displayed in real time and there are numerous configurable options. It should be noted that the tool itself requires CPU cycles and resources so, to accurately test a link, simply running the tool on the two endpoints of the link will not give accurate results. The most accurate way to test a link is to use two additional routers as the testing endpoints and test through the two link endpoints in a fashion similar to the following illustration created using the MikroTik Dude:
