EdgeOS Throughput Measurement Tools

Python scripts for measuring throughput on Ubiquiti routers (running EdgeOS).
NOTE: This script does not perform a speedtest, it returns the throughput of the router which is how much data is moving up or down through the router at that time.
There are two versions of the script one that runs once (throughput.py) and one that runs until stopped (throughput_loop.py).

Requirements

These scripts require the paramiko python module for ssh.

pip install paramiko

Setup

The scripts require 5 values to be set before the script can be used:

1. Set the name of the interface you want to monitor: erinterface = "eth0 "
2. Set the time between the 1st and 2nd measurement: sleeptime = 0
3. Set the username of the router: user = "username"
4. Set the password of the router: passw = "password"
5. Set the IP of the router: routerip = "192.168.1.1"
   The loop script also requires the time between loops: cycletime = 30

Single Run Script (throughput.py)

The single run script will run once and then exit.
An example of the script output can be seen below.

Loop Script (throughput_loop.py)

The loop script will run until exited (CTRL+C).
An example of the script output can be seen below.
