[Release] FreshJR Adaptive QOS (Improvements / Custom Rules / and Inner workings)

[spanjap]

To my surprise it is “GNU/Linux”

I had the same issue on my RT-AX88U. Think it has to do with an extra installed busybox or so.
When I removed the symlink uname in /opt/bin it's generating:
ASUSWRT-Merlin
That's what we want.

Today I was very frustrated with your script / Adaptive QOS in genera, here is what happened:

1. I was downloading games from my PC
2. Video streaming on my shield device was stuttering
3. Although I have the Shield TV device priority to highest, I also set my PC priority to lowest.
4. tThe traffic is correctly identified as Game Downloads, it was set in the Download section 5% - 100% / I changed that to 5% - 30%

I expected it would lower down the game downloads rate, but it didn't, what am I doing wrong heree?

Do not use device priorities

Do not use device priorities

I wasn’t using it, i used after the settings i changed didn’t work.

You think thats the reason? Did i set the % right? Was it supposed to do this?

Also another thing, I tried to Clock internet access for that device from my iOS app...it does nothing, the device did not get blocked.

Is that a bug?

The Undf FlowID should not reflect 1:17....it seems the script is not enabled. Plz try uninstalling and reinstalling the script and try the debug mode again.

Is that correct?

 

[FreshJR]

Today I was very frustrated with your script / Adaptive QOS in genera, here is what happened:

1. I was downloading games from my PC
2. Video streaming on my shield device was stuttering
3. Although I have the Shield TV device priority to highest, I also set my PC priority to lowest.
4. tThe traffic is correctly identified as Game Downloads, it was set in the Download section 5% - 100% / I changed that to 5% - 30%

I expected it would lower down the game downloads rate, but it didn't, what am I doing wrong heree?

Maybe both your game downloads and video stream were both detected as WebSurfing and were lumped into the same category.
You should double check with what the rates next to the pie charts reflect to confirm where traffic is going.

If both device traffic was going to the same category AND you had device priority defined, one device is guarenteed to get chocked out. (it might even be the device set to highest priority getting chocked since device priority is VERY broken). Seriously, don't use it.

As for your debug values, you have to wait 5 minutes or more after restarting QoS before running debug so it could parse accurate values.

I'm not sure this method will work.
I created a rule to redirect all torrent traffic to 'File Transfer'. However, around 50% of this traffic is redirected to 'Other'.

My torrent client is using the port assigned to it as well as numerous other ports.

If the information in the thread linked below is correct (and I understood it correctly), the torrent client will use the assigned port to establish new connections. Then it will be handed over to dynamically assigned ports.
https://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?t=15275&p=66506

There should be a setting for it not to use dynamic/ephemeral ports.

@FreshJR Any chance you can merge the classification page filter changes @RMerlin did in your version of classification page?

Sure thing

How do we know there's an update to this amazing script? At the same, how do we update it? Thanks

Run the install command from the first post

OR

/jffs/scripts/FreshJR_QOS -update

Yeah but that appears to be an interactive updater. I was hoping for a non-blocking update...

Next update will wipe user defined rules. I don't want to write a rule format conversion function to parse old rules into the new internal format.

I would be forced to maintain extra compatibility if support non-blocking updates to support carry over old settings while introducing new features.

Since updates are very sparse, I wouldn't worry about checking for updates often. (If its working, just check back once a year) With manual updates, if you find an update, gander over the QoS page to see if anything requires attention.

Looks fine, as long as all the values are populated and "Undf FlowID" is not "1:17" then its working, as stated in first post.

does the script have to have the category arrangement of

VoIP
Gaming
Others
Web Surfing
Video and Audio Streaming
File Transfers

or will it run fine with the default category arrangement? I noticed the HTTPS traffic gets moved to web traffic. most of my devices rely heavily on the https traffic though and i am noticing hiccups in connections is this associated to that being now at a lower category v.s. being top priority of network control packet?

I have over half a page of unproperly defined traffic that falls into web traffic category

I also have half a page of HTTPS traffic and that is most of my network....

this is some other traffic I have alot of...
I am trying to figure out, if i install this script, knowing all of this different traffics that are on my network, what may be the optimal arrangement of the categories for me?

 

[FreshJR]

Every category has guaranteed bandwidth so the order just really decides who gets excess bandwidth from categories not using all of their guaranteed rates.

The post was just a recommendation that works well.

okay just seeking best advice as I am a little bit of a novice at this.

thank you for your explanation.

Results are as expected (same as they were before I made the script)

Without the script:

-net control will have https transfers and will choke everything beneath it

-default will contain unifentified traffic but it will be choked since file transfer && video streaming are bulk bandwidth categories who have bandwidth priority over unidenfied such as game protocols && misc transfers

-voip can use a boost for classifying WiFi calling && facetime

-guaranteed rates can use tweaking so nothing gets choked completely even with a saturated network

So yup, modifications from the script are still recommended.

yea i also use a voip dedicated phone line as well which appears not to be identified at all in my traffic.
but here is my dsl reports without the script

Script doesn’t really tweak the resulting grades.

Instead it tweaks what is choked and what isn’t, and to what extent traffic should be choked.

You can have great grades, but bad logic will stall groups of traffic.

Edit: since the script depriorizes https away from net control (like dslteports) you may score a worse grade if testing on a busy network BUT the overall internet expirence will be better since dslreports should of never been given top priority in the first place. (That’s why it’s recommened to initially test for rates when the network is NOT busy)

especially if the traffic is not properly identified like you said.
