UPDATE: I tested further today. After a full day of working under all conditions with nothing but shared % of bandwidth, I re-activatred the min bw. By setting a min BW on the salchstr class, at a level equal to that of the max % at full bw, it broke. a full stream in any other class then kills tcp ...

I've been watching this run all day and it worked flawlessly under all conditions. Ended up getting qos Max at 27000/1600. Interestingly, the CPU utilization also decreased noticably under full load. Maybe 10 to 20% . I'm happy enough at this point to try introducing min bw again tomorrow and see if...

You're a genius! Making that change to "switch to dsl mode" worked like a charm! A quick tests now shows that QOS is rock solid up to about 27mbps download, even at 60% to 65% sirq. I tried with and without the special video class, and it performs as expected. 27mbps is the effective consi...

Sorry, more missing info... The 30mbps is 2 bonded 16mbps lines. The bonding is done at the ISP, and works well. At the DSL router I can achieve a very consistent 31 to 32mbps on a single download thread. And of course, the 2.2mbps download is the bonding of two 1.1mbps lines. https://drive.google.c...

Ok, new info. Now I wonder if this whole thing is in fact a cpu overload. I set up a very consistent test with a single stream in each class, while watching TOP on the console. In summary, it seems that QOS breaks down whenever SIRQ reaches above 55% for any reason. at 60% SIRQ it seems that QOS dro...

My apologies.. I neglected to finish these tasks. Been busy in my world. I do agree, one of the most tempting problems using QOS is to eek out every drop of bandwidth, especially when things are tight. I probably went too high on upload BW. It seems to be working at 1700, but perhaps not reliably. I...

Thats pretty much exactly where i ended up except for finer tuned percentages on the classes. I do in fact need a minimum of 1000 kbps for HD streaming video. 1500 would be better, but I'm settling due to the limitations of DSL. Everything is working as long as it stays in saturation and I do not us...

I'll try to address the questions below individually As far as the main router is concerned, you have 2 additional routers (ROUTER1, ROUTER2) and a PC1? Yet then you say you have another class locally which is a conglomeration of devices on your local (wifi) network? So which one is it? See the netw...

Sorry for the confusion. Here is a simplified view of the network map. RouterB ----- Building B LAN/WiFi --PCs | | | WAN --- Router A ------ Building A Lan/Wifi ----- PC1 | |----- Other PCs | | RouterC ----- Building C LAN/Wifi -- PCs Router A is the gargoyle router in question. Router B and C are g...
