ASUS QOS Doesn't Work

[TikiG]

Just click apply on the QOS page in WebUI, and any new changes will take effect.

The script just got updated. The first three posts along with install instructions are being edited.

I hope that didn't cause you any trouble or errors.

Everything is up and running. I have all Voip traffic (2 standalone devices) marked as VOIP traffic. I can get one cloud backup marked as File Download. The other I cannot as they use multiple IP's.

I need to do some further testing. Quality of calls seems to be significantly better. Under heavy cloud upload some loss of clarity, minor stumbling, but no significant garbling (dropouts).

I will do some further testing to see how much rate limiting the cloud uploads, on their respective desktop applications, improves call quality. On an initial test limiting cloud upload to 300kB (versus max 850kB) yielded excellent results. I have a feeling I can tweak the cloud a little higher maybe 450 and then hopefully call it a day.

Thanks for the script and the level of support you provided to this thread. VOIP is so much better than what it was.

Who is the cloud provider.

They might have their entire registered IP range available.

I can double check that for you with a simple whois search.

Crashplan

I did an ARIN search, Crashplan is Code42

I guess I could throw some of these in and see what happens.

From looking it up, it's kind of ambiguous. Do you know where is your data going by chance?

I see that crashplan could be installed on NAS devices where any NAS device can act as a server.
I also see that they offer central storage under their business tier.

Are you backing up to someone's NAS or do you pay crashplan for a central backup on their servers?

If you open Task Manager -> Resource Monitor -> Network, can you check what IP's crashplan.exe is communicating with.

Alternatively, I see that crashplan supports setting a custom packet DSCP mark. There is no issue creating a QOS rule to filter on DSCP marks. (A minor required change is that I think a windows registry tweak has to be performed first allowing applications to set DSCP marks.)

I got this result btw.

216.17.8.0 - 216.17.8.255 ---> 216.17.8.0/24
(where the crashplan website is 216.17.8.19 )

I was able to get everything from Crashplan into Downloads via 162.222.40.0/21 and 216.17.8.0/24. These seem to work for their US Datacenter.

I just completed a test of 2 PC's (1 wired, 1 wireless 5Ghz) streaming to different clouds, no limiting, max upload (in my case 7+Mb/s). All traffic marked as Downloads.

Then tried VOIP and results were excellent!!!

No garbling, really no stuttering at all. I'm pretty amazed as you have turned this piece of junk into something that works. How do we get Asus to pay you to fix their crappy implementation. Seriously.

Dslreports, I have quality A+, buffer bloat A. Jitter test pass 100%.
