ACC Ping Issue?

[rspierz]

I have noticed when enabling ACC the ping time shows 800ms, is this a bug? When i do a speed test, my ping is usually 10ms. I am using the latest version of gargoyle on a WNDR3700v1. Please see the attached photo.

Thanks

Your post shows ACC in the 'Check' state. This is an initialization state in which the ACC is checking if the ping target will respond to its pings. The fact that is remaining in this state means your ping target is not responding.

Unfortunately you blacked out the ping target ACC was using so I cannot check further. You can check yourself by doing a manual ping from the command line of any computer to that target.

You will probablly have to use your own manually entered ping target to get ACC to work. You can try the OpenDNS server 208.67.222.222 for example and it should fix this issue for you.

Report back on your results.

I have tried using the open dns server for the ping target and attached them to the post. I noticed that when ACC is turned on my donload speed drops about a full 1 mbit/s there is currently no load on my network so I dont get why it would drop it down.

Also I am using the stock QoS rules, could you post what you use? I used tomato previously and there were alot of stock rules. I was just wondering maybe you had a nice setup.

Thanks

It's true that ACC throttles your link briefly during initialization in order to make some measurements that it needs. This lasts around 15 seconds. Then the link is restored and the ACC enters one of its normal states. Not sure why you would be studying the behavior of ACC during this brief initialization period.

Oh okay thanks for clearing that up. I''ve just never seen the state change from INIT.

The state is in IDLE but the speed is still set 1-2mpbs lower. I have a DSL connection tested at 12.2 mpbs. Is this normal to lose this amount of B/W from ACC?

This is normal and immaterial. The only time the link limit matters is when you are operating in the limit.
