A couple things:<br><br>It has long been my plan to integrate simple_qos (call it ceroshaper) into the gui, and have a test run automatically to determine the uplink/downlink bandwidth, and store that in upnp.<br><br>The gui interface stuff has long defeated me, as well as finding enough servers to be the backend portion of the test. as for the latter portion, I have got a couple linode boxes up and hope to get some more boxes from another resource. as for the gui, I'm just hopeless there.<br>
<br>As for the shaper script...<br><br>One thing I notice right now is that an awful lot of stuff ends up in the background bin for some reason. <br><br>Similar things are happening on (unshaped) wifi. There's a bug there I think.<br>
<br clear="all">It's been my hope to finish cake (simple_qos poured into C and made more 32 bit cpu oriented) for a month now. I hope that will fix the background bin thing as it does full diffserv classification - but I don't know when I'll be done, so it would be nice to figure out what's going on.<br>
<br>One thing that testing (actually kathie) revealed last week is that 1024 nfq_codel flows may be excessive. 32 works pretty good, actually, and provides a defense indirectly, against bittorrent eating your life. Why that works is that codel works pretty good against one or a few flows in a single bin, and 32 bins limits the amount of delay that can be injected into the system that is unmanagable via codel. I'd been trying for "perfect isolation" between flows, but that meant that in an extreme overload situation with 100s of flows, and low bandwidth, delay could get out of hand.<br>
<br>Heck, 16 bins might be enough. Don't know. <br><br>-- <br>Dave Täht<br><br>Fixing bufferbloat with cerowrt: <a href="http://www.teklibre.com/cerowrt/subscribe.html" target="_blank">http://www.teklibre.com/cerowrt/subscribe.html</a>
