[Cerowrt-devel] PIE and ADSL2+

[Fred Stratton]

Yes, PIE does apparently work better here than fq_codel. This is a 
subjective judgement. I have stopped using RRUL.

For completeness I have shaped down and up link to 95% of the raw link-rate, and use simple qos, with tc_stab, link layer ADSL, overhead 40, and that seems to work well in my setup. My link is quite robust, that is I get a number of FECs but only few CRCs (and FECs do not require retransmission of cells and thus do not impact the effective link speed).

So at least in that test fq_codel seems better than pie. That said, compared to ping latencies up to 300ms (my primary router somehow restricts ;agencies to roughly 300ms)  with no AQM, just rate shaping with HTB, pie still keeps the internet more useable.
