Ok, I decided to step backwards, and start from the beginning.
My first goal will be to make sure the hardware is ok, mainly, the network interfaces.
I reinstalled Debian 10, turned it into a barebones router, and ran the speedtest-netperf.sh script from Openwrt, either from within the router, as well as from my 100/10 notebook.
The results seem to indicate everything is fine:
From the server, the test maxes out the Internet link;
Fromt the notebook, the test kinda maxes out its interface roof: close to 90 Mbps in all four tests (I will assume this is because of poor hardware quality)
I also switched WAN and LAN interfaces, just in case, and repeated the test, which gave similar results as before.
PARTIAL CONCLUSION: So far so good.
Attached, both results.
Hello, new member here.First, thank you all involved in making this great piece of software, which I have already experienced without issues during a couple of months.Back then, it was on Openwrt, in a TP-LINK Archer C-7 router, bandwidth capped to 60 Mbps (on the device's limits, but still making Internet usage much smoother to all users).Then I moved the router to a debian 10 Celeron J1900 mini-ITX, 4 GB of RAM, two entry level Gigabit cards.So far I couldn't get the stable A's in dslreports test I was getting with the previous setup.The point is that my Internet has been upgraded from 60 Mbps to 240/20 Mbps. SInce most, if not all, devices are still 100 Mbps, I'm currently capping cake at 85/18.I basically "transported" the cake settings from Openwrt to debian, basically adjusting the speed limits.I would like to know where I start troubleshooting this, to help identify what is causing bufferbloat on this new setup.Follow cake settings, then tc, then network hardware infoCAKE# Uplink and Downlink values are in kbps
