[Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.63_2 is now available

[RMerlin]

Had my AC66u crash and restart on 380.63

I can't post a text file for some reason so here is a picture of some of the error.

Your JFFS partition appear to be corrupted. Reformat it (under Administration -> System), reboot your router once, wait about 5 minutes (just to be sure), then reboot a second time.

my output to:
ps w | grep qosd

That's what the new QoS Statistics page is meant to accomplish - showing how much traffic goes into each classes. Otherwise, you have to go fairly low-level, using the "tc" command from Linux's iproute2 suite. With traditional QoS, that would be "tc -s class show dev INT", where INT is either eth0, ppp0, vlan2 or God-knows-what-interface (determining how Asuswrt's WAN interface is selected is currently at the core of this problem).

So, with traditional QoS on 68U with PPPoE WAN I get the following output:

The classes 10-50 match my configured classes Highest to Lowest. No idea what 1, 2 and 60 are.

When I switch to adaptive QoS I have no more classes bound to ppp0, but to eth0. On statistics page the upload stats are missing, only download is displayed. With the second command you asked us for I get the following with adaptive QoS enabled (still PPPoE WAN):

admin@router:/tmp/home/root# ps w | grep qosd
 4770 admin      696 S    qosd -i /dev/idpfw -f /tmp/bwdpi/qosd.conf -w eth0 -l br0 -u 253 -b

At the moment I'm at the office but when I'm at home I'll try to figure out if traffic gets classified correctly into classes 10-50 with traditional QoS.

Chris

That is consistent with what I see on my own RT-AC56U with these two QoS methods. @RMerlin already pushed some commits to fix this, I will attempt to test it later in the day since it is early morning here.

 

[chris.at]

After some more tests I think I can confirm that the labels on QoS Statistics are just shifted by one like another user already said. High should be named Highest (class htb 1:10) down to Class 5 which should be named Lowest (class htb 1:50).

Classification works properly so far but only after removing the first three lines from iptables-classification:

iptables -t mangle -D QOSO -m mark --mark 0x8000/0x8000 -j RETURN
iptables -t mangle -D QOSO -j CONNMARK --restore-mark --nfmask 0x7 --ctmask 0x7
iptables -t mangle -D QOSO -m connmark ! --mark 0x0/0xff00 -j RETURN

Without removing them I see matches in one class where no matches can be (only used for ftp/ssh classification). Without these lines traffic gets classified correctly into all 5 classes. I already played around with these in the past and am not sure what they should do by design but without them everything is fine with traditional QoS classification at least in my scenario. I'm not recommending to remove them, just telling my finds.

Regards,
Chris

Hmm, traditional QoS seems to work for me, it classifies my torrent server properly plus my Plex Server traffic which are the heaviest consumers of my upload bandwidth. I never saw Traditional QoS broken in my RT-AC56U except a few times where ASUS disabled IPv6 rule generation for whatever reason but that's stable for a few releases now.

 

[RMerlin]

That's correct. I divided the tc class by 10 to get a value from 1-5, however a Javascript array indices start at 0. I pushed two commits to Github to address this in a future release.

 

[RMerlin]

I configured a PPPoE server on my LAN to do some tests. It seems that when using PPPoE, Traditional uses the ppp0 interface as expected, however Adaptive QoS still uses eth0. Not sure if it's intended or a bug with Adaptive QoS, but for now I'll use the hardware WAN interface instead of the logical WAN interface. We'll see what it gives us (I can't fully test it since I'm unable to route traffic over PPPoE unless I build a whole new VM just for this purpose).

Then I'm not sure what happened for users who reported it wasn't working anymore, or when during my last round of codel tests I couldn't get any traffic to get classified. Could have been something else in these two cases.

I don't think you need more tests, this is the way it always worked in my router, Traditional QoS using the actual WAN interface while Adaptive always using eth0, the actual hardware WAN. I thought I mentioned it previously before the release of 380.63 but I guess I wasn't clear enough.

What does exactly "Default" class of QoS traffic (under new stats page) mean?
In this kind of class I see Transmission pks countered

 

[HardCat]

I'm having a difficult time finding the syntax changes from ipset 4.x to 6.x, can anyone point me in the right direction?

My previous post in this thread may point you in the right direction.

Try clearing NVRAM or doing a full factory reset before flashing. Make sure you don't have any USB devices connected while flashing.

Finally.

Backed up settings, unmounted USB drive, turned router off, removed USB drive, did a factory reset and now flashing 380.63 worked.

Put USB drive back and restored settings. Everything is working so far.

Any idea why this happened and will I need to repeat the process next time I want to upgrade? Never had this happen before.

 

[AndreiV]

Removing the USB prior to flashing firmware is always recommended.

 

[RMerlin]

It means anything that couldn't be classified. A lot of bittorrent traffic is unclassified because it's encrypted.

I can't find the post which states which router and firmware version you are upgrading from, but doing a full reset to factory defaults is a recommended practice, if you don't want to be chasing phantom glitches and bugs. And, without restoring saved settings either.

That 'restore' you did may come back to bite you in the behind in the future, time will tell.

The last link above shows the best way to 'restore' settings (do not do it via the gui).

The first three links show you how to get your router and network to a good/known state.

Nice. Does this fix the ip to Mac bonding issue which causes the wireless to fail? on AC88U. I have tried with a couple of fresh installs of the latest stable but the issue remains but this was not an issue on 380.62

While the Wireless is active and detectable, you simply cannot connect to it with any client.
