Is this with ACC enabled?

Yes. Should it not be?

Thats fine i was just curious because of the ping. I thought maybe it was a local server and having ACC off kinda messes with ping times (at least for me)

So in regards to gaming, has anyone come to a conclusion as to what setup is best? When your connection is being bombarded from a few other members in the house especially hehe.

I'm currently using the new default setup as per OP with an additional QoS channel that has a rule to forward traffic on that IP to the Game QoS Channel and vice versa for upload. The rule is after the <128 rule.

How is that working out for you?

Not as well as I'd like, I'm still looking for something that is better able to prioritise gaming traffic.

I am first person shooter gamer (call of duty)...i want my bullets to kill fast (hit detection) i try diferent rules and different classes several times..different times in day.

The "best" settings i have found that works perfect is this...





The game uses UDP packets for move..bullets...etc but it has and many ACK,SYN packets.

Sooo first rule for register fast movement and bullets when i shoot..
Second rule..maximum packet length 128 bytes for ACK,SYN packets..
Third rule...minimum 129 bytes...maximum 512 bytes.

The creation of rules is based in packet lengths i have found live via wireshark...



And for browsing...sites opens really fast and bufferbloat in DSLreports is very low.
Give them a try and write here how it works.

@Knomax

I'm not a gamer, but I would like to try the two rules for browsing.

How about the upload rules? Did you enter the same values?

Yes the same rules for upload....pages open really fast...try it.

Been using your settings for a few days now Knomax, and they are pretty good. Web pages still respond well under heavy load. Its also not too cluttered either with many rules so to me its a good contender for the best default rules contest

Only one problem with this is, you just have to be mindful of games that use TCP like WoW, and if you add TCP to the list there you suddenly end up prioritizing a whole heap of things that is not gaming traffic. So i simply just use the port number for WoW and it works fine.

I agree, thanks Knopix for the inspiration. It's working better than any previous solution.

I had to set the IP on the game rule though otherwise use of Facebook Messenger and Torrents seems to add lag when sending UDP for audio/video messenging.
