Network Quality Server
Welcome!
The Network Quality Server project was created as a place to share example servers that can used by the networkQuality command line tool available in macOS 12.
You can find a textual description of what a server needs to implement here
There’s also 2 complete reference server implementations, one written in Swift and the other in Go. Also provided are configurations for HTTP server/proxy servers: Apache Traffic Server, Apache HTTPD and nginx.
All the samples require an SSL certificate to run.
Using networkQuality against your server
The networkQuality CLI takes a -C switch allowing you to point it at your server.
user@myhost ~ % networkQuality -C https://networkquality.example.com:8443/config
