Realize this may be a frequent topic, but have a quick question about QOS, please. I have QOS set up for download and upload for my home connection with Gargoyle. I do a lot of FTP downloading, but also need to have fast response time when doing basic web browsing (or wife gets upset
) Occansionally, I use my Nvidia Shield over the internet which requires all the speed I can get.The Issue
The issue is when I'm doing a lot of FTP downloading, browsing the web (HTTP) is still really slow. Shouldn't it be faster than not using QOS? Here's an overview of how I have it configured...
To accomodate all of this, I set up five classes as follows:
- Gamestream Set to 50% (has min RTT) 5120 min BW
- Fastest Set to 21%
- Faster Set to 17%
- Normal Set to 11%
- Slow Set to 2%
I have many rules which I can list, but 80% of them are for the Shield (Gamestream) as it requires numerous open TCP/UDP ports. Below are the ones that have to do with the issue:
- HTTP / Con Bytes 1024kb - Fastest
- HTTP - Faster
- FTP / Con Bytes 256kb - Fastest
- FTP - Normal
I have it in 2 rules for each so that web browsing and ftp directory listing would be fast; but downloading files from either would be put in a lower priority.
I watch the categories when having the issue and see some bytes fluctuate between them; but not enough to tell whats happening.
Any ideas? Thanks!
