I have a small lan going through a dir-825 (rev.A1 1.10NA) and 15/2 cable connection, with a public host that runs dedicated game servers and an apache httpd. address allocation is both static/dhcp, with permanent boxes given their own ip while mobile devices grab one from the router in a different range.
I want to give the dedicated host priority for outbound traffic, but none of the settings I've tried so far seem to have any noticable effect on queueing. that is to say whenever I have any upstream saturating the connection elsewhere, with minimal inbound traffic, I still see latency for all connections to that host increase to about double the usual at that point, then backing down instantly as the line frees up.
am I doing this wrong or just expecting too much out of the qos engine? I thought I would see at least a relatively low increase with priority in action, but >100% the normal rate just doesn't seem very effective at all.
here are my settings:
WAN Traffic Shaping
Enable Traffic Shaping: on
Automatic Uplink Speed : off
Measured Uplink Speed : off
Manual Uplink Speed : 2048 kbps
Connection Type : cable/broadband
xDSL/Frame Relay: No
QoS Engine Setup
Enable QoS Engine : on
Automatic Classification : on
Dynamic Fragmentation : on
then for qos engine rules I have a single entry, with top priority pointing to the lan address of that host for all local/remote ports.
