Speedtest Showing Wrong Speeds
I'm not really sure how this is the case, but within the pod I am seeing download speeds that are roughly double what I'm actually getting. For example, inside the pod I'm getting this:
bash-5.0# speedtest
Speedtest by Ookla
Server: Comcast - Nashville, TN (id = 1764)
ISP: Comcast Business
Latency: 13.17 ms (2.89 ms jitter)
Download: 934.82 Mbps (data used: 1.4 GB)
Upload: 33.24 Mbps (data used: 42.2 MB)
Packet Loss: Not available.
Result URL: https://www.speedtest.net/result/c/f0b5583c-87ce-4b35-96ff-0c3d01874584
But outside of the pod, I run speedtest-cli
on the node itself and I get this:
administrator@server:~$ speedtest
Retrieving speedtest.net configuration...
Testing from Comcast Business (redacted)...

Testing download speed................................................................................

I'm located in Middle Tennessee, as you can tell. Any thoughts on why this is the case? I've even tried running speedtest
inside the pod using different speedtest servers and they're all way higher than I'm actually getting.
