[Codel] R: Making tests on Tp-link router powered by Openwrt svn

[Alessandro Bolletta]

Hi jonathan,

This is how i configured the testbed:

I have a windows 8 laptop connected directly on the tplink/openwrt router. Tplink is also connected to a gigabit switch.
So, i thought to make some file uploads from a linux samba file server connected to the switch to my windows 8 laptop, through SMB protocol (which uses TCP).

In order to create the bottleneck, tplink router has two 10/100mbits ports. So, i restricted the port connected to the switch to 10Mbit half duplex.

Also, i tried to decrease interval and target options in order to obtain a latency, for connections estabilished while upload is flowing, lower that 5 ms.
So i set target at 2ms and interval to 5ms.
So this is the schema:

laptop----tplink---switch---linuxserver

where tplink is routing subnets.

If i ping "linux server" i get very high latencies...and if i ping other PCs connected to the switch, i get about 10ms latencies.

I also tried to lower target at 1 ms and interval at 2ms, but i see the same effects.

If i disable fq_codel, i get always the same result.

Can you explain me where i'm going wrong?

Thanks

Is the bottleneck actually at your router, or (as is more usual) at the modem?

Hi everybody,
Today i made some tests on my tplink home router powered by the lastest snapshot build of Openwrt.
So, i configured tc to make fq_codel the default queuing algorithm for 2 eth ports available on the router (leaving unchanged default values).
So, i started some TCP sessions through my Windows client and I loaded the available bandwidth...but the test wasn't going as expected because i experienced packet loss and high delays as i did when the default simple fifo queue was the default queue.
Is there something that i'm not understanding?

Thanks,
