RT-AC68U Traditional QoS UL/DL limit values are broken?

[dave14305]

A starting point would probably be to look at the code with KMO's original PRs without any of the following Asus or GPL changes, and see if that runs properly as a basepoint. If it does, then consider this as being "forked away from Asus" (like my OpenVPN code) and no longer merge subsequent changes by Asus unless they make clear sense in our context.

I think you've got a pretty good solution at the moment, and this current issue is just an odd insertion from Asus upstream. I sent a PR to revert the 802.1q line after studying it some more.

I flashed stock 46065 on the AC68U and notice that they don't really bother with any download traffic at least pre-HND. Their iptables chains are slightly different, so they may have thought their mark 6 was useful, but with the existing Merlin modifications, it didn't make sense.

Learned a lot about the old AC68U today, and how to tcpdump 802.1q traffic.

For @Mr Solis you can try this workaround until a fix is made:

Create this script with nano /jffs/scripts/qos-start

#!/bin/sh

. /usr/sbin/helper.sh

if [ "$1" = "init" ]; then
        pc_replace " mark 6 0x3f " " u32 0 0 " /tmp/qos
fi

Then run:

chmod 755 /jffs/scripts/qos-start
service "restart_qos;restart_firewall"

Works like a charm. Much appreciated!

Thanks, guys!

Ok thanks, let`s settle for just reverting this for now, and I`ll avoid merging subsequent upstream changes unless they can be found to be 100% safe and relevant.
