#NetworkQuality

Your Mac has a bufferbloat test. Type networkQuality in Terminal: it loads your line both ways and times round trips. My Mac mini, wired, via VPN: 113 ms idle, over a second under load. Apple calls that Low. Add -s to load one direction at a time. I'm curious how rare High is.

まず「112倍」の中身。

これはRPMって指標で、11→1231。Mac標準の測定ツールnetworkQualityの値で、回線が混んでる最中に1分で何往復できるかを測る。11なら1往復約5.5秒、1231なら約49ミリ秒。

素の速度が112倍になったわけじゃねぇ。本人も投稿の中で「天井が上がったんじゃなくて、詰まりが取れた」と書いてる。

Typo an interface name in macOS networkquality and it never returns. `networkquality -I nope0 -c` printed nothing, opened no socket, and sat in semaphore_wait_trap until I killed it at 11m49s. Adding -M 10, the runtime cap, didn't help: still hung at 5m04s. A real but inactive en0 fails in 15ms.

TIL macOS ships with the networkQuality command line utility that tests your network performance. No more going to random speed test websites for me! 💽

Momentan hab ich 250/25 Kabel, das kommt auch an und lief immer rund. Daher kann ich persönlich nichts schlechtes über Kabel-Internet sagen. Kabel wären dann 1000/50, DSL wären 250/40. Upload ist mir nicht super wichtig, die 25 reichen mir (die 250 down theoretisch auch), aber 1000 wären schon nice.
