[Cerowrt-devel] performance numbers from WRT1200AC (Re: Latest build test - new sqm-scripts seem to work; "cake overhead 40" didn't)

[Dave Taht]

your results are showing basically tail drop behavior. Although I
would have expected intrinsic delay on the link to crack 100mbits on
the rrul test, not 20ms (which is still high), and you only hit 7 on
the single threaded tcp up test, based on what I saw in the driver.

turn off sqm, stay at 100mbit, let fq_codel ride, try the rrul_50_up
test. Also do a capture to see if CE was ever exerted.

I do not know why my linksys ac1200 build does not work. I generally
suspect it is because my big build server is getting ancient. Can you
send me your .config file for openwrt?

It would be VERY helpful if you pulled from ceropackages-3.14, and
added and built kmod-sched-cake and tc-adv and switched to using the
ceropackages feed also for luci-app-sqm and sqm-scripts. There are a
couple people here that would probably leap on that! :)

add to your feeds.conf

src-git https://github.com/dtaht/ceropackages-3.10.git

./scripts feeds update
./scripts feeds install kmod-sched-cake tc-adv kmod-sched-fq_pie
edit the .config file to make them modules or installed by default
make menuconfig then save
make

I went through hell trying to to figure out how to switch over to the
cero versions of these. If yer doing the builds, I could try hacking
the BQL. Maybe. In sweden.
