[RT-AC86U] I built cake!!!

[Odkrys]

I installed them considering they were I'll files and made the script executable.

I personally recommend it should hook into the GUI values or the script values for bandwidth.

don't use cake with adaptive qos.
turn it off first if you were using it.

 

[Odkrys]

So far no luck, I installed the .ipk files, then I made a new script with the commands you gave, nothing even added the script to service start nothing.

there is nothing service.

tc -s show qdisc show dev eth0

there was typo sorry.
tc -s qdisc show dev eth0

cake is not set.
Try running the script again.
I just added them in services-start for rebooting router.
So you should execute it.

sh /jffs/scripts/services-start

and see tc qdisc again.

 

[Odkrys]

ill wait till there is a gui version, that s included in adaptive qos

I think it won't be happen.
Adaptive qos is closed source so Asus should add it.
It would be faster to buy an openwrt router. lol

Never know, I talked to an Asus rep seems like fq codel is on the table.

 

[Odkrys]

Never know, I talked to an Asus rep seems like fq codel is on the table.

The reason Rmerlin was able to add codel and fq_codel is because the sfq being used by Asus in stock firmware can easily be replaced by codel or fq_codel.
https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/commit/4436e88c3e8cfeb38d5a7bb271755cde192c4fb6

For cake, they have to write a whole new rule.

cake is smart enough so if you install the ipk files and add the relevant settings to services-start, I think the settings will be survived after reboot and it will work well enough.

I added simple steps in the post.

@Odkrys, how you day cake works with online gaming & bufferbloat? Where you able to test it this way? I think A. QoS w/fq_codel and FreshJR script complement each other well.

Hopefully you have some input on this for those gamers! Thanks and great work!

Maybe another future project for @dave14305 to include in the GUI...jk since it's closed source and only Asus can add!

I haven't played a game these days, so I tested it as in the previous example.

tablet plays youtube 4k@30fps video,
smartphone plays 4k@60fps youtube video,
Laptop plays 4k@60fps youtube video and download googledrive data using IDM (internet download manager) with 4 connections.

My internet is 500Mbps/500Mbps fiber EPON.

Test is done over Wi-Fi.
Tablet - 2.4Ghz 173Mbps
Smartphone - 5Ghz 866Mbps
Laptop - 5Ghz 866Mbps

Without QoS (Hardware acceleration ON)

Adaptive QoS fq_codel 250Mbps
Work-From-Home > Game > others > video and audio streaming > web surfing > file transfer > Learn-From-Home
Since Adaptive QoS recognizes Google Drive data as net control packets, it has first priority.

Adaptive QoS fq_codel 250Mbps + freshjr
I sent tcp 80,443 transport to web surfing.

cake 250Mbps
cake just works.

For ping measurement, I used pingplotter (0.2 seconds interval).

Adaptive QoS works with hardware acceleration, so I am using Adaptive QoS + fq_codel + freshjr with a limit of 450Mbps.

@Vexira, where you able to get "cake" installed? What was your experience with it if you were successful?

If not, any steps to remove those packages installed? I haven't tried yet but will probably mess around with it this weekend.

 

[Kingp1n]

@Odkrys I'm trying to install the ipk files but I keep getting the following error:

admin@RT-AC86U-C5D8:/tmp/home/root# opkg install sched-cake-oot_2020-05-28-a5dcc
fd8-1_aarch64-3.10.ipk
Unknown package 'sched-cake-oot'.
Collected errors:
* pkg_hash_fetch_best_installation_candidate: Packages for sched-cake-oot found, but incompatible with the architectures configured
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package sched-cake-oot.​

Any ideas how to bypass this?

Update: I was able to install it....running cake with my 100/5 mpbs speeds. So far so so good!

Would you be able to share your updated build/install instructions? I want to give it whirl as well with Suricata. Also, can help document the uninstall instructions as well.

Cheers!! This is great news.

I followed the same instructions on pg.3. To remove i uninstalled a few files in the opkg folder and the script.

i sadly wasn't successful, to remove you have to use opkg remove (package name)

ive been trying to work out how the op implemented it into his gui, considering that i have an AX88U, which is a 4.X.X kernel version device.

 

[ttgapers]

I got it installed on my RT-AC86U on a 150/15 connection.

Seems stable, but will run for a couple days/reboots. I've made a couple changes to the install steps (that I believe is a bit cleaner) as well.

One interesting item to me is that with this "QOS" implementation, Suricata also works with no errors in the logs similar to Adpative QOS, therefore reliance on Trend Micro bloat is negated yippy!!!

Let us know how its working you. What does suricata do?

Check out Suricata over here:

 

[TechTinkerer]

Thought i'd try this.....followed the guide from page 3 to the letter

does this look correct?

 

[TechTinkerer]

@Odkrys

Code:
#!/bin/sh

/jffs/scripts/cake-start start

is the contents of that file definitely correct?

 

[ttgapers]

Here are my download stats. Mine have no reference of fq_codel. I have tweaked the script for my download/upload to 145/14 and Bufferbloat has consistently been better (B's) than Adpative QoS (Ds or lower)- thus I get the OP thoughts about "it just works". Mind you, I'd like more logs/details/tests on whether it is actually working.
