I'm always looking for ways to improve my connection, keep the latencies as "tight" as possible and give everyone on my network the best possible experience.
Since I first ran the ICSI "Netalyzer", one particular part of the result rose my attention: Network buffer measurements.
As soon as I turn on the QoS, the uplink buffer virtually explodes. It is being increased tenfold and usually ends at something like 3-3.5 seconds
Now, at first I thought it was the QoS per se. As, when I turn it off, the issue would go away. But:
By increasing the upload "bandwidth" on the router to something very large, far larger than my connection, the excessive buffer will get smaller and smaller.
My connection allows for 1MBit upload, not very much but I get along. As soon as I set 2MBit on the router, the buffer will be down from 3.5 seconds to something like 690ms. 5MBit? 290ms. 50MBit? 140ms.
As I just found out, it even happens when I turn on the QoS that's native to my NIC. Pretty weird.
Could anyone with a little more insight to the core of this matter shed some light on it? I really love a working QoS, but I can't exactly see where (and why) this buffer arises once I put some "realistic" values in.
