My connection is rated 20up, 100down - I set my QoS limit to 15up, 96down and get very good results with mostly grade A buffer bloat values while keeping almost all of my real-world maximum download bandwidth.Īfter running several tests I found this to be the best setting in my case. If you got the time just try it and compare it to your current settings. On the other hand your downloads won't get slowed down that much and will stay very close to your real-world maximum while still ensuring that the buffer won't be full. Do the same for your upload bandwidth and set it to 80% of the average maximum.Īccording to my experience buffer bloat mostly affects upload traffic, so setting it to 80% of the real maximum you're getting, might give you way better results. Then check what the average maximum of that is and set the bandwidth cap in QoS to that value minus one mbit. Try running around ten speedtests while your network is quiet, preferably via Ethernet (wifi should be fine though, as long as it's not crowded in your place and might distort the results). The maint also broke other stuff on my network (work vpn bind, he.net IPv6 tunnel, and a dyndns end-point) - spent most of the morning getting that all sorted and back up.Īngry eyes at cox - this is the second time in about 6 weeks this has happened. I can VPN into the office, and we get there just fine. (And to learn more about Bufferbloat, check my blog, )īe happy you can even reach the DSLReports speedtest site.Ĭox did some kind of maintenance on their network last night in San Diego (5/21), and the entire DSLReports site is now unreachable from my local broadband connection. If your router won't run OpenWrt, you should see if it can support the "fq_codel" qdisc - that's the "magic" for solving the problem.

Install OpenWrt, then the luci-app-sqm package as described at and you'll be on the air. If you have another router that can run OpenWrt firmware, the fix is straightforward. That's why it's so attractive to control bufferbloat in your router: it can handle all the equipment in your house at the bottleneck. Note: your computer can be bloated as well - that could explain why it happens when you connect it directly. But if you're using a Comcast router and modem combination, you're probably stuck until they roll out the DOCSIS 3.1 upgrades (unknown time frame, as of May 2015). Comcast has done great work to specify an algorithm (called PIE) that helps bufferbloat.
