    spdMerlin spdMerlin - v4.x - speedtest and bandwidth monitoring

    Hello Jack Yaz, Thank you for your scripts. 2cts suggestion for spdMerlin, based on 4.1.1. I have been playing around with different Ookla speedtest servers. I thought that maybe it would be cool to have the server id as a "column" in the exported data. I'm not in a position to evaluate the...

    If you haven't tryed it yet, I would delete the specific rules/timings, disable that protection, and then reenable and recreate the rules. Good luck Best regards W.

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.0.0 alpha

    Hello, AC86U here. My downlink probably varies between 300 and 350Mbps (I upgraded the link a few hours ago, so I can't tell how close the actual speed is from the promised speed (400). I have tested at 312, 342, 330 without Cake.). I just tested Cake in the automatic setting and it gave me at...

    Traffic spike fix from 384.14_2 was reverted in 386.1

    Dear RMerlin, AC86U here. I have installed the special of the day 386.2_beta2-g2f7a878aad. The dirty upgrade went without a glitch. I used to have unreal traffic spike in Traffic Analyzer/Traffic monitor/Real-time, within a few minutes (with Cake OFF; also with the regular 386.2 beta 2)...

    Cake - diffserv3 - DSCP - How badly are liars/outliers punished

    Dear Forum members, Cake relies among others on DSCP to assign packets to priority tins (Cake uses the "tin" word. I see those as priority queues.) To discourage DSCP "liars", some sort of trade-off is built-in to ensure that priority tins get some disadvantages together with the benefits. For...

    Traffic spike fix from 384.14_2 was reverted in 386.1

    FYI, RT-AC86U_9.0.0.4_386_42210-g5edd47f_cferom_ubi.w seemed to solve the issue with my AC86U. No ghost spikes after approx. 20 hours, and plausible totals. If I understand correctly, Merlin 386.2 is merged with GPL 386_42095. So, maybe for a future cycle ;-) PS: I could also reproduce the...

    Traffic spike fix from 384.14_2 was reverted in 386.1

    Dear RMerlin, AC86U with 386.2 beta 2. The issue was never visible for me with Cake ON. (Maybe related to "hardware acceleration" being OFF etc). I just tested with Cake OFF and I got the spike within a few minutes at most. I had a spike for 2.4GHz wifi and also for 5.0GHz. They were not at...

    connmon Spikes in latency because of spdMerlin?

    Hello, FWIW, In my view, the overlap is a nice feature and not a weakness. It is very interesting to have some feedback about the latency under load. I have actually defined the duration of my connmon to 26 seconds, roughly the duration of my speedtests, to ensure overlap during the whole ping...

    CakeQOS Cake Status

    Puzzled... If you don't notice a real life difference, indeed why bother... Or maybe just for the fun of experimenting as long as it brings you joy/excitement. Personally, if not noticing a difference, I would go for the settings that give me an A+ ;-) , or whatever settings are configured...

    CakeQOS Cake Status

    Nice conversation. Thank you for your interest. ECN looks cool. OpenWRT reminds "Note: this technique requires that the TCP stack on both sides enable ECN." In 2017, it didn't seem to bring real life benefits. See input from RMerlin and john9527 below. Do you know if things have changed in...

    CakeQOS Cake Status

    Hello again, https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/traffic-shaping/sqm-details explains "CAKE looks at each data flow in turn and either releases or drops a packet from each flow to match the shapers' schedule and by dropping packets from a flow before it has built up a significant...

    connmon connmon - Internet connection monitoring

    Dear JackYazz, Thank you for connmon (and spdMerlin). I am on 386.2 beta 2 with connmon 2.9. I am trying to change the frequency from 3 minutes to 1 minute (or 2 minutes). When the UI refreshes, it still displays 3. When the table refreshes, the test results are still based on the 3 minutes...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS Gaming issue

    Have you tried with something like setting up cake with 0.65mbps up and 9mbps down? The low numbers I have remind seeing for those tests were still on or above 1mbps. Sorry if I have missed that information... Edit: And I kind of mixed the results from askan and the other poster. Anyway, you get...

    Help responding to my ISP network engineer.

    Hello, What do you want to achieve with the response to the ISP "network engineer" ? For what it's worth, the way I personally see it * You don't need "support" from your ISP to enable Cake, fq_codel or others on your end of the network. * There is not much chance you would be in contact with...

    CakeQOS Cake Status

    I still need to listen to it all. At around 5:33, in that Cake presentation, Jonathan Morton says "So AQM keeps the queue length short by choosing when to mark packets, or drop them, in order to tell the endpoints that in fact the link is congested and that they should slow down a little...

    Maybe the video around this post https://www.snbforums.com/threads/cakeqos-merlin.64800/post-638424 Thank you Moris for your feedback. It is not how I had interpreted the quote above from the bufferbloat site. But the 2 seconds that you mention for the retransmit put things in perspective. I'll...

    CakeQOS Cake Status

    Hello, For what it's worth, my understanding is that some dropped packets is a good thing and actually a way sender and receiver can determine the adequate throughput/speed. Cake is then about choosing the right packet to drop, and dropping early. For instance, it drops more packets in my lower...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2 Beta is now available

    Thank you very much RMerlin for this. Installed 386.2 beta 2 about 4 hours ago on RT-AC86U. Nothing to report. (FYI, I always have IPv6 disabled, and no AIMesh.) Bufferbloat at A, as usual with cake (cake-qos or the built-in cake of 386.2). About: Not sure I understand the context but I'm...

    Voxel To unregistered readers of SNB forums

    Hello again, Very interesting thread actually. I guess that, with online "stuff", it's easy to forget "normal human relationships". Even more so when sometimes we deal with videos that are viewed by 100.000s persons and receive 1000s comments, or products that are produced by huge teams...
