I haven't heard much as far as CCR 10G incompatibility issues.

Esteemed Legions of NANOG: 



Does anyone have better and more modern recommendations for the hardware of 
an Ookla speedtest server? 



Here is the link to their recommendations.

I want a server that is capable of handlilng a speedtest up to 10Gbps. I 
plan to do this with an SFP+ port when my network comes along. (As soon as 
MikroTik comes out with a decent 10G CCR router that is compatible with more 
SFPs.) 



In the mean time I will just test 1 Gbps speeds off a copper GE port, but 
want the SFP+ capability so I don't have to repurchase hardware in the next 
year. 



Thanks!
