Adding the 'uninstall' option will bring it one step closer to amtm integration sooner. But for a version '0.0.2', this is a solid first release.

hm still thinking if I am using the right overhead param. I am using now ether-vlan.
my connection is done via optical cable and @home I have converter and splitter to ethernet and IPTV.

what do you think, is it correct overhead for my connection?

1. Test your results with no QoS enabled - dslreports speedtest
2. Try and test without any additional parameters (just up/down speeds) - dslreports speedtest
3. Start tweaking additional (if required), meaning if you are getting straight A's with no additional parameters then I think you are fine. IF you need to go this route, I mentioned in the previous post to match what Adaptive would use (absent of anything)...



That would give you the ATM as I don't know which "bucket" your connection type falls under at this point. Hope that helps...

As you mentioned the simpler/better documented ones are DOCSIS, PPOE etc....

I am very curious as to what setting (if any) works best for you.

Added to roadmap so it doesn't slip thru the cracks.

unfortunately i think the very limited model support might be an unsurmountable barrier, but who knows!

Installed as specified onto a AX88U and getting this as output when entering up and down speed plus overhead.

Looks like your issue is right here. tc-adv package isn't installing for some reason (see size mismatch), and thus it can't run. You can disable it for now and work on why and how you can get the tc-adv package installed error free.....

Once you get pass that, it will run correctly.

Update Entware packages as per OP below

Okay I updated and upgraded entware and all is good on my AX88U it works really nice!

How to add overhead on this line if it's value is 4

/jffs/scripts/cake-qos enable 37.5Mbit 9.5Mbit "4"

This doesn't work.

Limited model support at the moment, but moving forward, cake could be a big deal.

Not sure which command is "4". Here is the link to the Overhead additional parameters you can use, I'll add it to the repo/1st page. This is to provide similar functionality to the ATM overheads in the Traditional/Adpative/FreshJR scripts.

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/tc-cake.8.html#OVERHEAD_COMPENSATION_PARAMETERS

 

[ttgapers]

Question:

your github prereqs say "Not recommended for connection up/down of 250Mbps or higher".

Do you mean if EITHER the upload or download is 250+, you don't recommend this script? Or are you referring to symmetric connections (both upload and download are the same; i.e. 250mbps / 250mbps)

Also, you may want to specify which versions of the Asuswrt-Merlin firmwares have been tested with this script.

I am curious on speedtests/bufferbloat tests if you enable/start at your Teksavvy linespeed. I haven't been using any % for a couple days now and running smooth A+s across the board.

The command was /jffs/scripts/cake-qos 37.5Mbit 9.5Mbit ether-vlan
Works perfect now.

Same here A+ across the board.

Can anyone post screenshots of their connmon and Speedtest graphs showing before and after cake install/config?

All I can say is wow! Does this ever work well on the AX88U. Jeez makes the stock version of QOS obsolete! Great work @ttgapers !!

Here is mine, I don't use spdMerlin, just care about line quality:


Been using Cake for about 7 days now toying around. I consider it stable last few days. Prior to that was running FreshJR/Dave's latest updates for about a week, and prior to that the original FreshJR without Dave's bugfixes/enhancements.

At the end:
- No Trend - better privacy posture
- Works with Suricata
- Simply works - little to no config required

Privacy is increasingly important to me, and I’m keeping an eye on Suricata (last I checked, it wasn’t quite ready for mainstream use), and the ease of getting it going makes is a huge plus for people who generally don’t have the confidence or patience to config/troubleshoot.

It looks like your ping spikes have calmed down in a significant way; gamers on cable will appreciate cake.

I just installed on another router that has a bad graph over the last 7 days. It will be interesting to see how it looks over the next few days. Keep me honest @heysoundude
