FlexQoS FlexQoS 1.2.4 - Flexible QoS Enhancement Script for Adaptive QoS

[sentinelvdx]

386.1 + FQoS Dev 1.1.1 FQ_Codel working just perfect, even with gaming... can't complain

 

[dave14305]

Does the bandwidth limiter work for one device only?
Not for me.

Bandwidth Limiter is not part of FlexQoS.

 

[randomName]

Installed 386.1, did a hard reset/initialize. Installed Flex_Qos, entered both 90-95% of my speeds 50/3 and I'm getting horrible bufferbloat, my grade B, D, A My upload is the issue.

EDIT: oh, Skynet was also reinstalled ... this is with the AC86U

 

[randomName]

Enabled developer mode. Don't see the option for fq_codel. I've rebooted several times. Gonna try a hard reboot.

EDIT: Ah, it's not in the usual place. Need to go to Flex_qos/Customize to see queue discipline.

Testing now

 

[kapekohicafe]

You have to A) be on the development branch and B) click 'customize' on the FlexQOS tab. That will allow the queue discipline to be checked between 'default' and 'fq_codel'.

thanks man! i didn't know about the dev branch. i'll check on how to install that.

but limitation with the rules is not bandwith limit ??

This is what I think of when someone asks if bandwidth limiter works for one device:

The minimum/maximum bandwidth rates in FlexQoS apply to all traffic within each class. How are you testing it? Where is the output of flexqos debug ?

Run flexqos develop at the command line. Run flexqos stable if you change your mind.

thanks for replying dave! got it.

Is GNUton's 386 build considered stable now? Run this command before and after your test of the bandwidth limits and post both results.

tc -s qdisc

 

[bluzfanmr1]

Running the develop branch and switched to fq_codel and getting all A+'s for bufferbloat and the lowest latency numbers (unloaded and loaded) I've ever had on fast.com. Thanks for your work on this!

@dave14305 Just wanted to report a possible issue with the develop branch.

I had an issue last night where the latency on gaming didn't seem right, given it had been consistently good recently. Tried to do a speedtest on cloud flare before and something didn't seem right with the test. I had a look in the syslog and noticed the info of 'htb10 work is non-conserving?' and 'htb too many events'.

Went in to SSH and used the tc -s qdisc command and found packet loss on htb10 and htb11


Used the tc qdisc command and despite having the fq_codel option selected in FlexQoS customise tab, fq_codel was not being used.

I've set it back to default and then back to fq_codel, turned off QoS and back on and haven't managed to replicate whatever happened, but it's back working again.

One thing I can say for certain, the implementation of fq_codel is clearly superior to the default!

EDIT - Fq_codel has disappeared again, I only noticed because I got the htb messages in the syslog. Hadn't rebooted this time either.

Is there a way I can hide all those DNS port #53 ??

It seems the restart of QoS from Spdmerlin is causing the values to reset to default. Right after Spdmerlin had run, I checked tc qdisc again and it had reverted back (but fq_codel option still selected in customise tab).

Is it possible to implement the CAKE queue discipline rather than fq_codel? From the tc-cake(8) page:
"CAKE (Common Applications Kept Enhanced) is a shaping-capable
queue discipline which uses both AQM and FQ. It combines COBALT,
which is an AQM algorithm combining Codel and BLUE, a shaper
which operates in deficit mode, and a variant of DRR++ for flow
isolation."

 

[dave14305]

It seems the restart of QoS from Spdmerlin is causing the values to reset to default, even though the fq_codel option remains selected.

Makes sense since I’ve changed the logic in develop so I only startup FlexQoS during a firewall restart due to incompatibility with VPN clients otherwise. Run service restart_firewall while we wait for Jack’s next round of updates to spdMerlin. Or hack it into your local copy of spdMerlin if you’re daring.

EDIT: change service restart_qos to service "restart_qos;restart_firewall" at this point in the script if you want to:

I don’t think it makes a lot of sense in this scenario because by the time traffic would reach the qdisc, it’s already segregated by application categories. At that point I feel it’d be no better than fq_codel. I don’t see many people using htb+cake out there.

I'm keen to learn and will have a stab at anything, but I wouldn't know where to start with editing the file.

What does the restart_firewall do in relation to the issue and how/where do I execute the command?
