You may use this server to test network throughput to and from our
datacenter. This server provides the following test tools:
Using the traceroute tool, you can view traceroute results from the test server to any publicly accessible network address. Follow the traceroute link and enter the IP address of the target in the "Host" box and press the "Go" button.
FTP is available on port 21. Please use the username "anonymous" when connecting to the FTP service. You are not required to enter a password. In the FTP /pub directory, you will find several test files that you can download and re-upload to test network throughput speeds. When re-uploading files you may want to create a new directory with the "mkdir" command, then upload the files to that directory. In order to protect the privacy of our customers, you are not permitted to download files that are uploaded to the FTP server. Uploaded files are only readable by Rackspace staff and are automatically deleted after 7 days. Please do not upload copyrighted or sensitive data.
We have experienced connectivity issues with the Microsoft command line FTP client included in many versions of windows. The Microsoft FTP client does not support 'passive ftp', which may cause connectivity issues in certain network configurations. We recommend that you use a FTP client other than Microsoft FTP when using the sandbox test server. Filezilla is a freely available ftp client for Windows. Filezilla is not associated with Rackspace Hosting and installing Filezilla on your computer is done at your own risk.
Contents of ftp /pub:IPerf was developed by NLANR/DAST as a modern alternative for measuring maximum TCP and UDP bandwidth performance. Iperf allows the tuning of various parameters and UDP characteristics. Iperf reports bandwidth, delay jitter, datagram loss.
The IPerf service is listening on port 20000 for both UDP and TCP connections. You can test download speeds from the sandbox server to a client machine by installing IPerf (http://dast.nlanr.net/Projects/Iperf/) on the client machine, then executing iperf with appropriate arguments, including the following arguments specifying the server:
"-c sandbox.dfw1.rackspace.net -p 20000"
