# VRCDN Network Test
|
|
|
|
This is a simple tool to help you test your connection to the VRCDNs network. This can be useful to determine if you are having issues connecting to the VRCDN network.
|
|
|
|
## How does it work?
|
|
|
|
This tool will run two tests to test your connectivity to the VRCDN network. The first is a ping test, which will ping
|
|
each of the VRCDN ingest nodes for your area and report the results. The second is traceroute, which will show you the
|
|
path your connection takes to reach the VRCDN network.
|
|
|
|
Trace route is a useful tool to determine if you are having issues connecting to the VRCDN network. If you see a lot of
|
|
packet loss or high latency in the trace route, this could indicate an issue with your connection to the VRCDN network.
|
|
|
|
## How do I use it?
|
|
|
|
You can download the latest release from the [releases page]() - or you can build it yourself.
|
|
|
|
Once you have the binary, you can simply double click it to run it. Results will be shown for 5 seconds, and then the
|
|
program will exit. We recommend opening a command prompt and running the program from there so you can see the results
|
|
after the program exits, or use one of our pre-built scripts to run the program for you.
|
|
|
|
A sample output from the program is shown below:

## Compiling from source
|
|
|
|
This project uses [Go](https://golang.org/) to compile. You can download Go from [here](https://golang.org/dl/). Once
|
|
you have Go installed, you can compile the project by running `go build` in the root directory of the project. This will
|
|
create a binary called `vrcdn-nettest` in the root directory of the project that is ready to run. Alternatively, you can
|
|
run `go run .` to run the program without compiling it first.
