macOS Monterey's new network quality tool is surprisingly good

Nice! A network tool I've always wanted is one that automates the investigation you have to do manually if you are experienceing "internet issues". I mean, the check list is quite straightforward but still a pretty manual process, stuff like: - Do I have the expected IP? - Is there large packet loss or latency issues hinting at connectivity issues? - Can I ping the local gateway? - Can I ping to outside network? - Is my nearest DNS responding? - Is another, remote DNS responding? - What does Downdetector or similar say about the service I'm trying?It would be nice with a one click tool that just went through this in order and gave a diagnosis.

Interestingly it uses their own CDN infrastructure by default by checking <a href="https://mensura.cdn-apple.com/api/v1/gm/config" rel="nofollow">https://mensura.cdn-apple.com/api/v1/gm/config</a> for which endpoint to use.

Slightly OT, but I'd like to express my astonishment about a positive article about a new tool making it to the front page. Somehow these days it's always rants about new stuff.Nice and short read.

This is a neat little tool. I had no idea that was hiding in there. Anyone have any other little hidden gems on MacOS?

Just tried running it on my (terribly inconsistent and laggy) directv/att satellite internet, and the process crashed with NSInvalidArgumentException. <a href="https://gist.github.com/judge2020/ff0279a51ed59a56aa184867c0896086" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/judge2020/ff0279a51ed59a56aa184867c0...</a> (14" MBP base model)

A version of this is also available on iOS (I think since iOS 15.0), although it only shows the RPM: <a href="https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT212313" rel="nofollow">https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT212313</a>This tool is also mentioned in that page, albeit briefly.

I hope this improves the network stack in ipads as well. Now that apple has same cpu arch on both ipads and macs, i expect better network tools for ipads.I recently tried setting my ipad 5g as a hotspot but couldnt share the internet over the ethernet over my dock. If i could do that, it would enable the full 1+ gigabit 5g speeds that i get natively on ipad to the 2.5G port on the usb-c dock connected ethernet.I also tried tethering through usb-c which gave only 250mbps.Finally settled using wifi tethering which maxes around 600mbps.It would be great if there is possibility to share 5g over ethernet, that would blow any 5g hotspot out of water with the chipset apple have put in the ipads.

This is awesome. I hope the client code will be included in the Apple's open source repository [1] after they update it for Monterey. It's hard to fully rely on a test without seeing its implementation, especially the responsiveness portion.[1] <a href="https://opensource.apple.com/" rel="nofollow">https://opensource.apple.com/</a>

This is a nice little addition.The UX is nicer than even the best web sites for this (assuming you're comfortable with the command line).

Interestingly, I'm having serious problems just loading the web page; visiting the page gets me into a redirect loop, visible in cURL like so:<pre><code> $ curl -v --http1.1 https://danpetrov.xyz/macos/2021/11/14/analysing-network-quality-macos.html > GET /macos/2021/11/14/analysing-network-quality-macos.html HTTP/1.1 > Host: danpetrov.xyz > User-Agent: curl/7.68.0 > Accept: */* < HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently < location: https://danpetrov.xyz/macos/2021/11/14/analysing-network-quality-macos.html </code></pre> It's returning a 'location' that's the same as the source, leading to me never seeing the actual page.EDIT: It's back now, working and visible.

As others have commented, that capital Q is a strange choice for sure, and because so many other commands begin with "network", autocomplete is needlessly distant. But it's easy enough to set "nq" as an alias for networkQuality.

Over here we tuned up virgin media fiber to have the least latency under normal working conditions yet seen, using sqm and the sch_cake algorithm. Pretty graphs here:<a href="https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/virgin-media-discussion-thread.17701788/page-1120" rel="nofollow">https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/virgin-media-discu...</a>I don't know what rpm score that network would get as yet.

We've been having regular videoconferences to discuss this concept tuesdays 9:30 AM PDT over here:<a href="https://starwrt.v.taht.net:8443/group/bufferbloat/" rel="nofollow">https://starwrt.v.taht.net:8443/group/bufferbloat/</a>(use any login, no password, chrome is best)There's also the "rpm" mailing list on lists.bufferbloat.net

Too bad it doesn't have a -4/-6 option. I was just debugging some connectivity issues which seem to happen only to ipv6

I cooked up a little app that has a UI front-end for these statistics. <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/network-quality-test/id1596010084" rel="nofollow">https://apps.apple.com/us/app/network-quality-test/id1596010...</a>

Can anyone speak to "responsiveness?" Is this essentially the inverse of latency?

Does it separate WiFi from internet? Seems most people don’t even understand the difference. You could have strong internet but poor WiFi in a certain spot or for a certain time.

This is great. I’ve encountered connectivity issues the past couple weeks and have been looking for tools like this.Are there similar tools for assessing WiFi quality and bandwidth?

If only they fixed the tab groups issue of recurrence despite deletion & not keeping new sites in the same tab group either...

An intercap in a command line tool?(Sounds good apart from that!)

You can do `networkQuality -c` and it will output json. It would be fun to make a tiny web front end for it on localhost.
