spdMerlin spdMerlin - v4.x - speedtest and bandwidth monitoring

[miniterror]

Trying to find out what this Jitter is, Google seems to indicate some delay in handeling the packets and that it might be bad for VoIP.
But i cant seem to find what good values are.
Searching this thread i see people with jittser of less then 1ms, i go way above that, could that indicate there is something wrong with my ISP or cabeling?

jitter is the latency variation reported by speedtest. it could be a busy server, you may wish to install connmon for latency/jitter testing against different hosts to confirm

what about ntpMerlin for a different time reference? my jitter numbers dropped and stabilized when I installed it on mine...and I've emptied my trash of the screenshots I made back then.

First: enjoy the coffee
Second: The first post needs an update.
Third: amtm keeps showing an update. I tried 'u' and 'uf' but it won't showing an available update (I think, the arrow is pointing the other way around). Does this have to do with the fact that I switched to the developers branch. Should I switch back (and how?).

Yes, that is normal when you are on the develop branch. It's letting you know that your local version (left) is higher than the remote version (right).

You don't need to do anything as this is expected.

How can I try the develop 4.1.2?

How can I try the develop 4.1.2?

I was under the impression @Jack Yaz already released it, but if you don't see an update in amtm when running 'u', you can follow the instructions here: http://www.snbforums.com/threads/ba...-lowered-over-past-24-hours.71067/post-672221

Okay, thanks for clarifying that. Will it revert to normal when 4.1.2 is released or do I have to do something to 'leave' the develop branch?

Dear Jack Yaz,

Thank you very much for this and connmon, both of which I like a lot.

spdMerlin stops cake-qos to produce a speedtest of the line that is not impacted by the router settings.

Merlin 386.2 offers built-in cake (Adaptive QoS/QoS/Cake).

FYI, as opposed to cake-qos, the built-in cake does impact the result of spdMerlin.

Thank you again for connmon and spdMerlin

Best regards

PS: I just tested with 386.2 beta 1, and spdMerlin 4.1.1.

I believe you can run spdmerlin stable to revert or use update force to revert to the stable branch.

when 4.1.2 goes to "stable" you'll be automatically migrated back as i set the develop branch version of the script to pull from master (stable)

develop includes a fix for built-in cake

I think there's a bug or something. So I enabled autoBW. With 100% of speed option so it will use 100% speed for calculation. Sometimes it works fine (as I can see in log or when I do spdmerlin generate.) But, most of the times the download speed calculation is off . Like way off... Only on the downloads tho, never happened on the upload side. Is this a known thing?

Here's problem :

Here's my AutoBW Settings :

Thanks!!

 

[Jack Yaz]

AutoBW uses the average of the last 10 results, it doesn't use the result of the last test. it's on the to-do to make this configurable in the next version

Oh. I see. Now it makes sense. Thanks for the info!!

if i don't make it configurable for the /very/ next version, I will at least put something in the UI to explain that, as it isn't stated anywhere at all

Can you put an option in to NOT stop the built in Merlin Cake when running speed tests? That is the reason I switched from Cake-QoS to the built in cake, I wanted to check cake’s status more than just raw ISP bandwidth.

dont enable exclude from qos.

Ah, okay. I was unclear on what that option really did. I did not realize it shutdown cake during the speed tests. Makes sense!
