It is a brand new VPS, just created on Linode.com today. It is a Nanode type, 1vCPU, 1GB memory, 25GB storage, and 1TB transfer.

The monthly cost of this VPS is $5.

I just change the TCP Congestion Control Algorithms to BBR.

I used three tools to do the test.

Yet-Another-Bench-Script (YABS)

It includes three parts.

  1.  Disk Speed tests – fio;
  2. iperf3 Network speed test IPv4 and IPv6;
  3. Geekbench 4 test.

UnixBench

First I need to clone the project, then install the build-essential software, build the software. At last run the test.

$ git clone https://github.com/kdlucas/byte-unixbench
~/byte-unixbench/UnixBench$ sudo apt install build-essential
~/byte-unixbench/UnixBench$ make all
~/byte-unixbench/UnixBench$ ./Run

The testing result as below:
