Introduction

This script has three main functions:

1. Run speedtest and iperf3 tests a specified number of times at a specified location for networks listed in the config file.

2. Record the results to CSV files in the same directory as the script is saved.

3. Report the mean and standard deviation of cumulative tests by network and testing location.

Requirements

1. Python 3.6 or newer.

2. speedtest-cli, pandas, and toml packages from pypi:

pip install speedtest-cli pandas toml

3. Valid config file saved in the same directory as the script. Please see the example.

4. iperf3 must be on your system and you must have a running iperf3 server on another system, which should be a wired device. Download iperf3 from the official site here: https://iperf.fr/iperf-download.php#windows.
