Hi Sebastian, yes, they’re only 100 Mbit, but that’s enough to cover the rates where I was seeing the problem with Wi-Fi. Also in my test setup there are four nodes connected as described under Configuration #1:

http://www.drhleny.cz/bufferbloat/wifi_bufferbloat.html <http://www.drhleny.cz/bufferbloat/wifi_bufferbloat.html>

I’m running Cake on ‘mini’ and ‘mbp’, and the Wi-Fi radios are only on ‘om1’ and ‘om2’, so the CPU load shouldn’t be different for mini and mbp when connected directly via Ethernet, instead of via Ethernet and a Wi-Fi link, I suppose.

I think we just wanted to see if the throughput shifting would reproduce over Ethernet at the same rates, but so far it didn’t for me, although there are other anomalies that don’t look like the throughput shifts I sent before (there’s a throughput anomaly for Cake 20Mbit and latency anomalies for fq_codel 60Mbit and 90Mbit):

So that suggests that the throughput shifting problem may also be somehow related to Wi-Fi. I’m still going to be testing Chaos Calmer, as well as two Ubiquiti NanoStation M5’s, though this will take some more time. We might learn some more from this, or if you can reproduce it with ath9k hardware that would be good too...

Thanks,
Pete
