Overview
Ever wondered why your video calls sometimes suffer from poor voice/video quality? It may be related to reliability (not bandwidth) of your Internet connection.
We had this problem in my company for a while, main difficulty was that it happened only rarely. This project helps to detect Internet outages over a long period of time (e.g. 1 month) with minimal footprint.
It uses iperf3 running in special mode using minimal bandwidth so your other activities are not affected by the test.
It helped us to detect defective Wi-Fi router and find out reliability of our Internet provider (99.98%).
