EdgeOS ready script that tests for WAN connection degradation (via packet loss and latency checks)

network_test.sh

#!/bin/sh
#
# USG and EdgeRouter route-test script for failover
#
# uses ping to check latency and packet loss.
#  returns zero when within thresholds and non zero (1) when above thresholds
#  uses ping, traceroute, and logger
#
# by https://github.com/popmonkey
#
# v0.8.1 2019.10.12 - don't wait for log_traceroute to return failure
# v0.8.0 2019.10.06 - on failure, dump traceroute info
# v0.7.0 2019.10.05 - ping more than one host
# v0.6.2 2019.10.04 - refactored - also checks packetloss
# v0.5.0 2019.10.03 - first working version
#
# this is meant to be used as the test script in the load-balance groups
# e.g.
#  group wan_failover {
#      interface eth0 {
#          route-test {
#              count {
#                  failure 1
#                  success 1
#              }
#              type {
#                  script /config/scripts/network_test.sh
#              }
#          }
#      }
#      interface eth2 {
#          failover-only
#          route-test {
#              count {
#                  failure 1
#                  success 1
#              }
#              type {
#                  script /config/scripts/network_test.sh
#              }
#          }
#      }
#      sticky {
#          dest-addr enable
#          dest-port enable
#          source-addr enable
#      }
