NETWORK stress test script?

Has someone put together a network stress test automated script to help diagnosing bad cables and network bottlenecks between two end points?

One could run `iperf3 -s` on firewall and then run `iperf3 -c my.firewalla.com' from a client, but this is a little tedious.

I am new to Firewalla and so far I am happy with its features.

  There is a simple speed test HTML page running on the firewalla.  And we use this to test LAN speed; you can visit

  https://[your firewalla IP]:8833/ss

  The speed output from this depends on the unit you have.  So if you have a blue or plus unit, they will likely limit your test to 500mbit, red unit is 100mbit, and Gold, you can run full gigabit. 

  This speed test is very useful if you want to test out WLAN performance around the house. 

  iperf3 is still the best way to do tests if you want something more sophisticated.

  I'd love to be able to schedule this and run it on my Dakboard display.

  The simple speed test HTML page running on the firewalla referenced here, https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360052338233/comments/360014782333, only works with http, not https.

  Thanks @Firewalla, for assistance with this.
