connmon connmon - Internet connection monitoring

[EmeraldDeer]

That’s a LOT of clock jitter. What NTP servers are you pointing at? Are everyone else’s ax88s like that, I wonder?
EDIT- I just looked at my stats, and for the last 30 days averages are: ping 16.2ms (graph shows cloudflare playing games; today it dropped to sub-9 and has been as low as 7.6), jitter 0.36ms and line quality 99.8. I would tend to think that this indicates a config issue with OP's router/WAN interface/connection

This would be connmon rather than ntpMerlin.

I was also taken aback by the ping response times. Maybe that is just the nature of their internet service. This is what I am seeing from Comcast in suburban Boston using the first hop router for ping.

Another idea is that they are using a VPN client for all router traffic.

Correct ! Those ping times are from my VPN server.

With the speedtest script I get results separated for wan and vpn.

Is this a future option for connmon?

That ^ would be a sweet comparison, @Jack Yaz

That revives the need for the ability to set a destination per interface (currently spdmerlin only uses your choice of server for the WAN connection, VPNs use "auto" mode). I could easily implement it with the same limitation in connmon, but "auto" doesn't exist - we'd need to pick a sane default for VPNs. How about 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8?

 

[heysoundude]

No preference here.

Having a destination per interface would be very nice on connmon. I am actually using it right now a little differently.
I recently setup AiMesh - an AX88U as the router and a AX58U as the node in Wireless mode. I have connmon monitor the node and I use spdMerlin to let me know how my wan is doing.
I wanted to keep an eye on the wireless interface between router and node. Working well!

v2.3.2 is now available
Changelog:

Set ping destination in WebUI
Implement drag to zoom

This use case would require me to add the br0 interface as a choice, and validate such that only private IPs can be specified. This would require more work than simply re-using the interface selection code from spdmerlin - meaning if I do that, I would break your use case.

Which command/lib you use to run a 30 seconds ping?

Standard ping utility. To test per interface, I would need to use the -I switch to make sure tun11 is used for VPN Client 1, and so forth. If you bind to the WAN interface (i.e. eth0 / ppp0) then it will fail when pinging a local IP.

You was quicker than me

Just finished to look over at github and found it at line 664

How about this:
1) Userfriendly -> keep everything as it is
2) Advanced user -> define multiple interfaces / per interface destination at own risk

As an rough idea

Hey Jack!
On webui, when I try to insert one.one.one.one it doesn't work. Attached.

However, via ssh, I can define it.

Probably the regex not liking the depth. Use the ip 1.1.1.1 instead

You are using:

/^(([a-zA-Z]{1})|([a-zA-Z]{1}[a-zA-Z]{1})|([a-zA-Z]{1}[0-9]{1})|([0-9]{1}[a-zA-Z]{1})|([a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-_]{1,61}[a-zA-Z0-9]))\.([a-zA-Z]{2,6}|[a-zA-Z0-9-]{2,30}\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3})$/

You can use:

/(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]{0,61}[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{0,61}[a-z0-9]/

adding start and end matches is required, so that will do nicely. thanks

feature request: ping ipv6 ? the current field doesn't seem to want to accept an ipv6 addy

 

[EmeraldDeer]

Effect of pandemic on consumer internet service providers
Here is 30 days of Connmon data from suburban Boston
The ping is from Asus router to the first hop Comcast router

 

[CaptainSTX]

Not so pronounced in SW Florida.

With the number of cars headed North on I-75 bandwidth demand should be dropping.

I changed my ping from cloudflare to Hurricane Electric...my ping may be higher, but it's rock solid; that's translated into a narrower range of jitter for me.

I wonder if it will stay that way during tonight's Netflix surge...
