AutoBW: Automatically set QoS bandwidth using spdMerlin

[JonEngland]

It has to do with picking out the units (b, Kbps, Mbps, etc) for the class ceil/rates. What does tc class show dev br0 | grep "parent 1:1" output?

I see this:

class htb 1:11 parent 1:1 leaf 11: prio 1 rate 1670Kbit overhead 18 ceil 8379Kbit burst 3197b cburst 9595b
class htb 1:10 parent 1:1 leaf 10: prio 0 rate 417Kbit overhead 18 ceil 8379Kbit burst 3197b cburst 9595b
class htb 1:13 parent 1:1 leaf 13: prio 3 rate 417Kbit overhead 18 ceil 8379Kbit burst 3197b cburst 9595b
class htb 1:12 parent 1:1 leaf 12: prio 2 rate 835Kbit overhead 18 ceil 8379Kbit burst 3197b cburst 9595b
class htb 1:15 parent 1:1 leaf 15: prio 5 rate 246Kbit overhead 18 ceil 8379Kbit burst 3198b cburst 9595b
class htb 1:14 parent 1:1 leaf 14: prio 4 rate 331Kbit overhead 18 ceil 8379Kbit burst 3197b cburst 9595b
class htb 1:17 parent 1:1 leaf 17: prio 7 rate 77Kbit overhead 18 ceil 8379Kbit burst 3198b cburst 9595b
class htb 1:16 parent 1:1 leaf 16: prio 6 rate 161Kbit overhead 18 ceil 8379Kbit burst 3197b cburst 9595b

Might need 'dos2unix AutoBW'

There is lots of new code, so it will need lots of testing I tried to test the best I could but you know how that goes.
In addition to options in the config file, AutoBW can now be run with command-line arguments like:
AutoBW -sim (simulation mode; do not change anything but simulate what would happen)
AutoBW -num_tests 3 (average speeds over 3 spdMerlin tests; set QoS upload/download bandwidth)
AutoBW -read_bw -num_tests 10 (read in the last 10 spdMerlin tests from daily csv files and calculate average values; set QoS upload/download bandwidth)
and so on ....
Try AutoBW -help for all the options (it can still be run without any options; the options are pulled in from the AutoBW config file)

I tried installing v2.0. It install with no issues, however, when I try to run the command: /jffs/scripts/AutoBW, i get this:

[ X ] AsusWRT-Merlin version checked!
[ X ] bc installed

Please correct the errors above and retry.

Ok, I see the problem. You have an "overhead" section that I do not so it is unable to find rate unit of Kbit ... will fix and update soon.

UPDATE:
Changes merged to the development branch that should fix your issue (I think).

 

[squidbilly]

When I try to run the AutoBW -config

I get AutoBW: not found.

Are you in the same directory? then ./AutoBW
Otherwise you need to include the path to AutoBW (like /jffs/scripts/AutoBW)

 

[JonEngland]

When I try to run the AutoBW -config

I get AutoBW: not found.

try
/jffs/scripts/AutoBW -config

 

[Kingp1n]

Yes, I can see the AutoBW script under the directory i.e. /jffs/scripts/AutoBW

When I go back to the previous version (1.5), the script runs with no issues.

 

[Kingp1n]

try
/jffs/scripts/AutoBW -config

Ok, this worked!!!! Thanks a lot!

thanks and for reference, I have an RT-AC86U

 

[JonEngland]

great, an alternative would be
cd /jffs/scripts
./AutoBW -config

 

[peepsnet]

I am having the same issue.

Running a 600/600Mbps PPPoE fiber connection under a RT-AX88U. QOS and FreshJR script enabled (90% bandwidth limit fixed)

When I run the speedtest with my PC directly connected to the router I got around 560/560Mbps (withQOS disabled I got around 620/620Mbps). That's Ok. But when I ran the spdMerlin script ... I didn't get any test result higher than 350/350Mbps, even with QOS disabled.

I don't know why the speed tests directly from the router are too low.

That is close to what I am getting... 350 to 400(the highest I have seen)

 

[squidbilly]

Are you sure you are connecting to the same Ookla server between the speedtest on your PC and the router (just a thought).

Also,
Just pushed an update to the development branch which should correctly pick out the rate/ceil units from tc (traffic control). If it cannot find them (for some reason), AutoBW will tell you so. These same units are then used with the tc command to update the rates/ceils of each class.

weird, just redid what I did before, (e.g. I previously checked timestamps updated as they did just now), and it now completes ok

*Download Speed (306244.6 Kbps) > upper limit (102400.0 Kbps)

Also, Kingp1n, you probably wanna increase your download speed upper limit in the config file (/jffs/addons/AutoBW/config) ... you are getting 300 MBps down but have the upper limit set to 100 Mbps (that is unless you intend to cap it for some reason). Alternatively, you can use the command line like AutoBW -dl_limits 1 400 (which ensures download bandwidth is set no lower than 1 Mbps and no higher than 400 Mbps)

Update:
I increased the default upper limits (in config file) to 500 Mbps (cause some of y'all got much faster internet than me )
