December 9, 20178 yr I am getting extremely slow speedtest results. I have other devices going through the same router that preform as expected. Feels like I'm getting throttled here! So far my searches have all been dead ends. Any ideas/help would be appreciated.

December 9, 20178 yr speedtest: Ping (Lowest): 541.622 ms | Download (Max): 0.10 Mbyte/s | Upload (Max): 0.10 Mbyte/sTo where is your ping? For a local partner this is much too high!
December 11, 20178 yr Author I know! My problem is down stream from my router as I can ping the same server in 10ms when I plug my laptop into the router. I think I have a hardware or configuration issue in my unraid box but out of ideas. I have also tried: switching network cards out and cable in case I had issue there.
December 11, 20178 yr Consider tracerute to see the ping time for every jump the packets are making to see where the delay gets introduced. And do a normal ping so you can see the distribution of ping times - if most are quick and just some few are slow or if most of them are slow. Any chance you might have created a network where your data takes a WiFi jump, in which case your speed will be greatly affected by how full the air is with competing signals?

Also will do on the normal ping. Although the max up and down should be more like 100/10 Mbs not 0.10/0.10 so I think the ping is real. No on WiFi jump. Cable Modem -> Router/FW -> Unraid box, all next door to each other. Thanks for the help
December 11, 20178 yr Just noticed I spelled it "tracerute" - the program is named "traceroute" on Linux. And "tracert" on Windows since older file systems couldn't handle long file names.

December 11, 20178 yr Nothing really off with your ping times. I wonder if speedtest is doing small or large ping. You could try to specify -s 1024 to make each ping packet larger and see if that affects the ping delay and possibly gives more jitter.

December 11, 20178 yr That's also reasonable figures - the link speed itself is high enough and stable enough that the larger packet size hardly matter. You might try to ping 200 times (-c 200) and have ping print out the distribution. This is 20 ping from my machine - but I'm very far away from this server. Probably an Atlantic cable that adds 150ms of the total ping time. But while small variation - mdev is 1.427 ms. --- www.sumnercomm.net ping statistics --- 20 packets transmitted, 20 received, 0% packet loss, time 19024ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 161.266/162.038/167.242/1.427 ms Next attempt is to try to ping while adding some background file transfer. One time with a file transfer to this site. One time with a file transfer to some closer target. This might give an idea if there is some QoS or other shaping happening.
December 11, 20178 yr Author 200 packets transmitted, 200 received, 0% packet loss, time 199222ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 23.608/32.516/40.816/4.416 ms During transfer 20 packets transmitted, 20 received, 0% packet loss, time 19028ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 23.848/36.869/56.131/9.505 ms
December 12, 20178 yr All figures looks good. Have you made some transfer tests with some other program? Maybe it's the speedtest program that can't be trusted?
December 12, 20178 yr Author My guess is that maybe it is the speedtest related too. I would like to do more analysis of traffic between devices and ports locally but currently above my pay grade. I'm aware of wireshark as a packet analysis tool but so far my searches in Unraid forums have not shown any easy answer to this problem.
December 12, 20178 yr What are the other devices you would have available for testing? On unRAID side you can install the Nerd Tools plugin. Once installed, go to its configuration page and select iperf. Since iperf is available for many operating systems, you can then do tests between local devices as you mentioned.

The Nerd Pack definitely has tools I was looking for to help analyze my network traffic. I'll report back after I get a chance to test with itop and iperf.

December 19, 20178 yr [deleted]I didn’t realize at first, that your wired test goes to an external host
January 1, 20188 yr Author Epilogue to my tale: It was the Linksys router. Port lighted green and said it was full duplex but when I switched it out, problem solved. Thanks all for the help, I am now more dangerous than ever with all that I learned fighting this one!
