[RT-AC86U] I built cake!!!

[heysoundude]

Perfectly valid reasons.

I worked on the script some more (new file) to include requirements checking (JFFS enabled, Entware check), auto-add/remove to services-start and services-stop, as well as included some more options ({install|enable|start|stop|disable}): https://5m.ca/cake/cake-qos.sh

This means that cake QoS can be installed and set up with 3 commands (below assumes AC86U and 30Mbit / 5 Mbit + Cable (Docsis) connection):

/usr/sbin/curl --retry 3 "https://5m.ca/cake/cake-qos.sh" -o "/jffs/scripts/cake-qos" && chmod 0755 /jffs/scripts/cake-qos
/jffs/scripts/cake-qos install ac86u
/jffs/scripts/cake-qos enable 30Mbit 5Mbit "docsis ack-filter"

Feel free to take anything from the code you like, I feel this will help towards #4 (scripted install) I'll probably remove this and my other post once an official script is put together to minimize confusion.

I just have to say - the 5m.ca service/site is a wonderful thing - thank you for making me aware of it

The request to get an install script added to amtm would go to @thelonelycoder as it's his work, but it seems he needs enough interest from users to do so, so tag him and he will hopefully look at this.
just as a suggestion, it might be polite to invite @dave14305 to have a look at what is happening here - as I understand it, he has been making changes to the original FreshJR QoS in the creator's absence. Maybe some some collaboration can happen?

To be amtm compatible a script needs to be popular, free, have its own menu driven fully automated install/uninstall/configure options, be compatible on all or at least most router models, have a compatible version number scheme and my approval

Hi All,

My original post has been updated: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/rt-ac86u-i-built-cake.49190/page-5#post-593992

It incorporates all of jackiechun, robcore and Odkrys work! Hosted on github.

Let me know if it's time for a new thread for this stuff now!!

...and knowing is half the battle. [emoji1303]

I would say so...and don’t forget to reserve the 2nd & 3rd posts for updates.
Now all that remains is to popularize it more widely among the community.

Great work, thanks! I've updated my two posts to link to your updated post.

Yes, time for that thread

Interesting project! Sadly I think my 350/35 line is probably on the high side for Cake? I saw somewhere in the thread that over 250 wasn't recommended

 

[Milan]

i am using it for 1000/100

 

[Wade Coxon]

i am using it for 1000/100

What sort of throughput are you achieving (with cake enabled and disabled), and when under load with cake enabled, what sort of CPU usage?

Yeah, i think you're good on 350Mbit
whilst i get peasant speeds!

You dont need cake, unless it is an addiction! seriously though with you having GB/s i wouldn't bother

Thanks to all contributing here, I'm watching quietly and excited to try cake but not deeply technical on the coding side and therefore waiting before I jump in with my RT-AX88U.

I agree it is time to have a new thread, and in order to gather more support for the project I would suggest a link to information on the benefits of Cake over other QoS options. I'm heavily dependent on QoS using FQ_Codel and FreshJR_QOS but find it struggles in some circumstances and I suspect many are in a similar position.

The icing on the cake would be AMTM integration.

Thank you all again for your work on this

i might give it a go on my 86u. if needed i can chip in with a menu and/or webui. my menu code is pretty generic so i can adapt it to other scripts fairly easily

cake+suricata 250Mbit 66% CPU
cake only 300 Mbit 25%
no cake no suricata 300 Mbit 25%

all via wifi.
speed test from router is saying 750Mbit and more ...

I like graphs from QOS
and i hope that cake will have them soon

 

[Milan]

I have q: which rules are used by cake following in traffic prio?

 

[TechTinkerer]

@ttgapers i wonder if its possible to tie in spdmerlin to pass speedtest results to cake script ....cron job? @Jack Yaz @jackiechun
