#Wireless internet speed test ookla software#
With over 7,000 global host networks incorporating testing servers, Ookla ensures the objectivity of Speedtest measurements through OoklaServer, the core server software that communicates with our Speedtest client software.
To complement this extensive network of hosted servers, additional high capacity dedicated server infrastructure is provided at the hardware layer to Ookla by sponsor organizations such as OneProvider, a global provider of dedicated hosting, cloud hosting, and colocation services around the world. The server hardware and connectivity are supplied by network providers who want insight into the performance and quality of their networks - including fixed broadband ISPs, mobile network operators, application and content service providers, hosting and colocation providers, and academic and other industry groups. Over the last 14 years, the Speedtest Server Network has grown to span over 190 countries and most major population centers around the globe. This robust network and the proprietary protocol that we have implemented ensures that our users can fully evaluate the quality of service of their connection - wherever they are on the planet, and on all types of networks.
The accuracy and consistency of Speedtest is made possible through the global network of servers that host our server daemon, OoklaServer. This article explores how this distributed server network - along with the Ookla® Speedtest methodology - ensures the most accurate testing for consumers while delivering valuable insights on performance and quality back to network providers in order to build a faster internet for everyone.
Today, the Speedtest Server Network™ includes more than 10,000 servers worldwide, representing over 7,000 unique host networks. These are the critical metrics that provide consumers with an accurate, reliable measure of their internet speed and the quality of their connectivity. Powering every one of these tests is a global network of high-performance servers, ready to test the maximum sustained throughput of the user’s connection (download and upload speeds) and to report back on key network health metrics, such as latency, jitter, packet loss and traceroute (the transit delays and path of packets across a network). Every day, over 10 million consumers press the “Go” button on Speedtest® to measure the performance and quality of their internet connection.
