spdMerlin spdMerlin - v4.x - speedtest and bandwidth monitoring

[NGI]

The AutoBW feature currently uses the average of the last 10 speedtests, not the last result.

Ahh I see I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for clarifying Jack.

I can make the number of tests used configurable....i suppose

I'd like that if it is not too much of a hassle

I've not been keeping up very well. I assume there's no option for AutoBW to set the Cake bandwidth values?

Not currently. I did ask earlier if cake qos stores the bandwidths in a config file or elsewhere but i didn't get a response. I don't use cake since it can't handle my 550mbps connection so i need a cake user to find out for me, I can then look to integrate

There's a config file that should have the speeds ( /jffs/addons/cake-qos/cake-qos.cfg dlspeed= upspeed= but it's in Megabits)

Hi,

Can I configure spdMerlin to do pings rather that speedtest and plot the results?

 

[L&LD]

Use connmon for that.

Any ideas on if there's a limit on decimal places?

Any ideas on if there's a limit on decimal places?

Must be 3 digits max before the decimal (999). No limit on decimals in the script. You can issue the settings commands then stop and start, perhaps.

CakeQOS-Merlin: Usage;

cake-qos start                   |  start cake-qos                                       
cake-qos stop                    |  stop cake-qos                                       

cake-qos settings dlspeed xxx    |  configure download speed setting for cake-qos       
cake-qos settings upspeed xxx    |  configure upload speed setting for cake

Or you can update the bandwidth on-the-fly without stopping and starting (but after updating the config via the settings command). Get the current handles (8009 and 800a in my case) and ifnames and issue the change command (from https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/codel/wiki/CakeFAQ/).

# /opt/sbin/tc qdisc ls | grep cake
qdisc cake 8009: dev eth0 root refcnt 2 bandwidth 23Mbit besteffort triple-isolate nat nowash no-ack-filter split-gso rtt 100.0ms raw overhead 0 no-sce
qdisc cake 800a: dev ifb9eth0 root refcnt 2 bandwidth 320Mbit besteffort triple-isolate nat wash ingress no-ack-filter split-gso rtt 100.0ms raw overhead 0 no-sce
# /opt/sbin/tc qdisc change dev eth0 handle 8009: cake bandwidth 24Mbit
# /opt/sbin/tc qdisc change dev ifb9eth0 handle 800a: cake bandwidth 320Mbit
# /opt/sbin/tc qdisc ls | grep cake
qdisc cake 8009: dev eth0 root refcnt 2 bandwidth 24Mbit besteffort triple-isolate nat nowash no-ack-filter split-gso rtt 100.0ms raw overhead 0 no-sce
qdisc cake 800a: dev ifb9eth0 root refcnt 2 bandwidth 320Mbit besteffort triple-isolate nat wash ingress no-ack-filter split-gso rtt 100.0ms raw overhead 0 no-sce

No, but if you tell me how many you want to work to I can test it

Hi Jack, long-time spdmerlin user here--a HUGE thanks for all your efforts developing and supporting this wonderful tool!

I recently configured a wireguard client on my AC86U which connects to my VPN provider's wireguard server. Do you know if there's any way for spdmerlin to run on this new wireguard connection? Based on my limited understanding of how the wireguard setup works, the connection is on an interface called "wg0". Could it possibly be a matter of simply modifying spdmerlin to interact with that interface?

woah - AutoBW changing my cake-qos config? that could be superior...if it includes rtt on top of Upload/download speeds. There may be disagreement over on the cake threads about messing with this parameter, but I've found it to be not insignificant.

spdMerlin is using up to 1.5Tb/month on my fiber connection.
no cap
take that comcast!
bit much, no?

@Jack Yaz , out of curiosity and to enlighten us all, why did you decide you needed to change this?

Does this (or AutoBW) somehow calculate existing connections? Say, for example, I'm downloading some large file and using 100 Mb of bandwidth. Will either of these apps somehow take that into account?

Are you asking if Spdmerlin will still show your full throughput even though you are downloading something? If that is the question then no. Spdmerlin will only show your bandwidth speeds at the time its being ran. I run mine in the middle of the night since there should be no traffic.
