[Lincoln LUG] Internet Testing

[Alistair Crust]

Hi Kevin,

I'm guessing the 'Lincolnshire school's network' (aka netlinc as was) won't let you touch the router? 

Does the school have an onsite cache/filter you could graph maybe?

Kind regards
Alistair

Hi All

I have a school which has a very slow internet connection and I would 
like to prove it is the connection from the router to the nearest POP 
(point of presence).

I have a raspberry pi and I thought that with the right software, I 
could get it to monitor the connection and graph the results.

I am looking at ntop. I have not done much with it yet but my initial 
feeling is that it just monitors the pi's eth0 so I would still have to 
cron an upload/download at regular intervals to get meaningful results.

Would this work?

Regards

Kevin
