      Seems highly unlikely,

      waveform.com definitively does use IPv6.

        speed test is using IPv6

        Comcast also does, there is a small gear icon in the upper right to change to IPv4.

        In particular I've found speed through Hurricane Electric IPv6 is way less than IPv4.

        @luckman212 If the limiter isn't applying then the rule isn't matching. Are you clearing states between making rule/limiter changes? Do the states agree with what you expect? For example a web site file download is an outbound state (device to web server) and the download just returns on that state. (Or from the perspective of the web server's router it would be an inbound connection/state.)

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          Definitely no IPv6 here! I've been waiting 12 years for Verizon to roll it out for residential FIOS customers. See this 45+ page thread on DSLreports.

          @SteveITS yes I am clearing states via pfctl -F state between runs. I don't know how many connections for example the waveform bufferbloat test opens (I'd assume >1, probably dozens) so it's hard to know for sure if the # of states is correct.

            @jimp I just went ahead and bought a TAC Pro sub. Order SO22-30515. Hope I can get some assistance next week.

              An update for anyone following along:

              Today I unboxed a brand new 6100, flashed 22.01-RELEASE onto it and proceeded to make only ONE configuration change from the default factory config: creating 2 limiters/queues and adding the floating rule exactly as per the offical docs

              I set the bandwidth at 150Mbps for testing, to ensure I'd be able to easily see if the limiters were working.

              Guess what? It worked flawlessly.

              cbcb4631-4856-4fd8-9233-364d696b707e-image.png

              Next, I went to System > Update and updated to 22.05.a.20220403.0600. No other changes were made.

              After rebooting, I re-tested and got this (which matches my original problem throughout this thread):
              e1ab18aa-eac4-4bea-bbec-688426d78524-image.png

              I diff'ed the config.xml's from before and after the 22.05 upgrade to be sure there were no other changes made behind the scenes (there were not).

              So now I am even more convinced there's either a bug in 22.05 or something's changed in the ipfw that ships with it that requires some sort of syntax change which hasn't been accounted for.

                  Since this seems to be just an issue with how the ruleset syntax is generated, is there a way I can manually run a fixup command or hand-edit the rules to fix this problem right now on 22.05? I have a somewhat urgent need to use limiters now...and since 22.05 is still at least 2 months away and I can't roll back my config anymore (too many changes and it's not backwards-compatible with 22.01) it would be very helpful.

                        Just adding some notes from redmine...

                        Currently this bug (#13026: Limiters do not work) appears to be blocked by the following 2 bugs:

                        • #12579: Utilize dnctl(8) to apply changes without reloading filter
                        • #13027: Input validation prevents adding a floating match rule with limiters and no gateway

                        12579 says "#12003 should be merged first" but even though progress is at 0%, it appears a patch has been merged. 13027 also has a merge request pending. Target on 13027 is 22.09—hope we don't have to wait that long to have functioning limiters again!

                        @jimp is there any movement going on with this (imo) important bug? Thanks

                            @marcos-ng Good to know. I just updated to 22.05.a.20220426.1313 and was going to test a bit, but I'll keep waiting for some news on redmine.

                              Just reporting back here to wrap this up. I've been busy with other stuff but finally got around to retesting this. All working great on 22.05.r.20220604.1403. It's so nice to have this working again! Increased WAF factor by 10x.

                                @luckman212 Just one question. Did you use the same settings on post # 1 or did you change something?

                                Thanks.

                                    @luckman212 I'm still seeing this issue in 22.05-REL?

                                    No matter what limiter I'm putting on the WANDown it's still going full-bandwidth and bufferbloat is suffering.

                                            No matter what limiter I'm putting on the WANDown it's still going full-bandwidth and bufferbloat is suffering.

                                            Which brings us back to the original question regarding wandown

                                            I just checked it on 22.05 and it DOES work.
                                            Do a speedtest and see what speed are you getting and if it is consistent.
                                            (eg. wan links from wisp's tend to fluctuate in speed)
                                            And do keep in mind that wan down can only be controlled indirectly, by dropping tcp packets and hoping that ack-window will take care the rest.
                                            If your incoming traffic is e.g. udp and there is no mechanism in the app that utilises udp traffic to request fewer data, there is no way to stop flooding your download.
