AX86U on beta 4. Having tried develop over the weekend, noticed I've had strange results with packet loss and high ping during some online multiplayer gaming sessions. When it happened tonight, it occurred when my wife was on zoom. My ping was spiking between 80-120ms and packet loss running between 3% and 12%. I switched QoS off whilst in-game and it resolved the issue. I switched back to stable after the game and then turned QoS back on and found no issues with ping or packet loss in the next game.

Also noticed pings during SpdMerlin tests have spiked to just over 100ms yesterday. Can't say I've really noticed any other differences, certainly no improvements over the stable version.


@dave14305 Wanted to give some graphical representation to underline the testing of FlexQoS develop branch... Just found checking through ping history on Conmon, that on the 16th you can see the high ping spikes as previously mentioned. It's been stable since going back to the develop branch and I've also changed the ping server to my ISP's which is giving a more accurate representation of my latency. Jitter is the best it has been for a long time.

It seems that fq_codel still works under latest 386 beta. Nice to have the ability to still set it :

My fq_codel option fundamentally changes the Adaptive QoS functionality because it removes the device-level hierarchy that is where a lot of the Adaptiveness happened.

I personally think this is a decent compromise. Identified traffic being put in the right App Category buckets (classes), and then being fairly transmitted within those classes.
To get a technical sense of what is removed, run these this command before and after enabling the new fq_codel option:
Code:
tc -g class show dev br0
Not enough room for the After output.

@dave14305 how do I add the text from a code? keeps saying the message is too long.

Tried typing that text you had said to use in to my SSH console and its quite long...
 
Installed 1.1.1 beta from dev branch option on my AX88U (Rmerlin 386.1 Beta-4b). Also enabled fq_codel via Customise tab on the GUI. Bufferbloat before was B to C, now solid A's. Overall & Quality went from B/C to now A or A+ on dslreports testing. Web surfuriing via browser panels, more responsive/snapper. Can only assume these changes were FlexQoS and @dave14305 awesome work, then cable connection getting tweaked by cable company.
 
Updated to dev branch all looks ok except, and this could be a coincidence, dcd is crashing every 20 min. Using AC86u with merlin 386 beta 4b

sorry if this was asked (i searched) does gear accelerator - game device Prioritizing mess with FlexQos? can I leave it on? and if yes does it do anything when using FlexQos?

and here is the dcd crash log I'm having (don't know if it's related to FlexQos but started after I update to dev version)

My fq_codel option fundamentally changes the Adaptive QoS functionality because it removes the device-level hierarchy that is where a lot of the Adaptiveness happened.

I personally think this is a decent compromise. Identified traffic being put in the right App Category buckets (classes), and then being fairly transmitted within those classes.
To get a technical sense of what is removed, run these this command before and after enabling the new fq_codel option:

Not enough room for the After output.
I'm using latest stable release for Merlin and FlexQoS on Ax88U
Things seem to be working very well, but your comment above brings up a question. In using FlexQoS, should I *not* prioritize the clients on the Bandwidth Monitor Screen (Red = Highest, Yellow = High, etc.)? QoS in general is very new and confusing to me, so apologies if the answer to my question is stupidly obvious. :)
 
This is interesting. Please post the output of flexqos debug and tc filter show dev eth0
One of your appdb rules is not correctly finding the existing filter handle correctly.
Sorry Dave,
I got called out of town and before I saw your reply for more data, I Hard Reset the router and did a manual configuration.
I've not seen this condition since that time, but I'll monitor and let you know. Sorry for burying and debug data you may have gotten from me.
 
@dave14305 Just a update on Beta5 and AX86. Still if you add a iptables rule, example
test2192.168.51.70BOTH040070Gaming
Under tracked connections it will show 192.168.51.70 youtube as gaming classification, but it will not show any traffic at all moving in the bandwidth charts. Adding the same rule without ip obviously to AppDB works as intended. This works on AC86u fine.
Rmerlin mentioned lastnight that everything between the 2 firmwares is the same except AX has a different trend micro engine. Ive been looking through all the scripts to the best of my ability (which doesnt go far with iptables). Maybe you can point me in the right
direction to debug this.
Thanks for all your work.

Run these commands before and after playing a YouTube video. The traffic is going somewhere.
Bash:
iptables -t mangle -nvL
tc -s class show dev br0 parent 1:
Then add in a flexqos debug so I understand the lay of your land.
 
Wouldnt let me drop it all here for some reason. With the commands you gave me, and comparing output to my ac86u. It looks like its working? But not showing up in bandwidth stats. Ill try to use iftop

What's most striking about the output is that the only traffic logged in the download classes seems to be the traffic you explicitly mark with an iptables rule. All the other 1:10-15 and 1:17 classes have zero bytes, which seems very hard to do on a network. If you remove that last iptables rule and run the test again, does that traffic show up anywhere? Maybe the Trend marking engine is broken on the AX86U. Feels weird to me. Is anything else connected to this router right now?
 
I removed the rule , only one device on the router right now.
Just did some random crap using bandwidth.
