Description:

The purpose with TPTEST is to allow users to measure the speed
of their Internet connection in a simple way. TPTEST measures
the throughput speed to and from various reference servers on
the Internet. The use of TPTEST may help increase the
consumer/end user knowledge of how Internet services work.

TPTEST was originally developed by the Swedish ICT-commission,
then later by the Foundation for Internet Infrastructure (iis.se),
the Swedish Consumer Agency (konsumentverket.se), and the Swedish
National Post- and Telecom Agency (pts.se). The latest development
has been to separate the platform-independent test method software
(the test engine) from the platform-dependent user interface
software in order to make it easier for anyone to write a test
client or server that uses the TPTEST testing method. The test
engine code is to be regarded as a library module and is released
under the LGPL license while the reference client/server
applications is released under the GPL license.
