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...

Yes, this is dsl. I wonder why it works without min be on upload but breaks with Min be on upload. The effective numbers are the same, but somehow there is a difference. Even when min bw is set lower than the % of total at saturation, it breaks tcp streams. It sort of all makes sense now. Udp is not...

Success! Without setting a min BW on upload, QOS works flawlessly. The three classes no operate independently of each other without interaction. If I turn on "min BW" for the salchstr upload class, any one of the three can swamp the bandwidth and cause tcp traffic to stall. here is a shot ...

Very curious finding... If i removed the "min BW setting for UPLOAD on the salchstr class, it started working as expected! So, it is working properly under all conditions I can test as long as there is no minimum BW setting on UL. The bandwidth increases and when it hits the limit, all classes ...

When I can, I will test with an even lower max BW setting.
