CakeQOS CakeQOS-Merlin

and spdmerlin results are affected by cake. so it would need to disable cake during test, possibly degrading service quality while speed test is performed.
but sure would be nice to have an automated way of estimating line bandwidth changes during the day and automatically adjust cake limits.
the autorate-ingress was too erratic unfortunately

Yeah, that wouldn't work. With every test you would lower the connection speed until it's down to 0.

So I'm slightly confused on how I should set my DL/UL limits on cake. My advertised speed is 100/10, but I consistently see 117/11 when I run spdMerlin (only overnight as to not saturate the network during the day at all). Should I set to 90% of 117/11 or to 90% of 100/10? Or 95%? I know it's a test and what works best, but looking for the most realistic starting point. Thanks!

I would base it off of what actual speeds you get (117/11) And personally I don't go 100% of the speeds, I do 95% (Cable). Use https://www.dslreports.com/speedtest for bufferbloat testing.

I'd recommend going 95% first, doing some tests, and then seeing if dropping it down to 90% improves bufferbloat score. If your bufferbloat score is good but quality isn't good, try bumping up the %.

I'm throwing together a rough menu for this script. Am I correct that "start" accepts a queue choice (e.g. diffserv) and then "all other options" as a single parameter?

zero? that would mean no latency problems! ;-)

Correct So it would look like "diffserv4 docsis ack-filter"

The user also needs to specify up and down speeds, correct?
I'm thinking start would be along the lines of:
user chooses start
prompt to enter down speed
prompt to enter up speed
prompt to choose queue priority - offer default of besteffort
prompt for any other parameters

Looks good to me! Just tagging @ttgapers and @maghuro as well

Are decimals accepted for the speeds, or integers only? If the latter I assume offering to enter in Mbit or Kbit would be sensible?

Decimals are accepted. If you enter 28.5Mbit, cake automatically converts it transparently to 28500Kbit.

Version 0.1.0 released, thanks to one of the masters @Adamm

Hopefully it will solve some of the update problems.

Please do update and start again:

cake-qos update

and

cake-qos start params

In the meanwhile, @Jack Yaz is cooking something great

Great to see community movements!!! Thanks @maghuro @jackiechun @Jack Yaz and @Adamm -- folks 5-star generals are arriving!!

Still putting out some work fires here!!

Perfect, Thankyou

This works really well now. It has improved my video experience like nothing else. Good work people!

Updated smoothly using "cake-qos update"

It would be great to be able to call "cake-qos start" and others without needing to add speed and other parameters each time, but I guess it's more of an inconvenience during development with these updates arriving thick and fast.

I just installed 0.1.0 after uninstalling 0.0.3 and reboot after that. Everything is working o.k. although I must give the full path to cake-qos in the terminal, it isn't in /opt/bin.

admin@AC86U:/tmp/home/root# cake-qos
-sh: cake-qos: not found

 

[ugandy]

0.1.0
when i change up/dn limits with start or install, my nat-start is not updated

 

[TechTinkerer]

@jackiechun @ttgapers @Adamm @maghuro @Jack Yaz Can we have a file that contains params as a default and when cake-qos start gets run it looks in for example /jffs/scripts/cake-param/qos-param.txt

so, it means we don't always have to add download\upload and param everytime prior to cake-qos start?

I believe a reboot will fix it.

 

[ttgapers]

Correct So it would look like "diffserv4 docsis ack-filter"

This might be the optimal setting. Gonna configure it now as the dust has settled in the real job!

See how stable this stays..vs besteffort which has been rock solid
