Quick question about limiters
-
I want to have it set on WAN only... Now I have it on LANs and limiters are working OK. But I rather see limiter on WAN.
The other thing that is bothering me is, why on LAN there is 80Mbit/s and on WAN after 3-5 minutes is 87 Mbit/s... It slowly rises from limited 80 to 90 Mbit/s.
@jimp any idea why is that? pppoe maybe?
-
Can someone test if it behaves the same for you?
Thanks! -
Steps to reproduce?
-
For limiters to sto traffic just set them up and apply floating rule on wan.
For traffic difference start torrent client and wait up to 5 minutes and observe if wan goes above defined limit.

Please provide more details for floating rule, applying on WAN, maybe screenshot is better?
Thanks. -
OK, so like this:
Action: match
Quick: DO NOT tick
Direction: OUT
Protocol: ANY
Then in advanced:
Gateway: select your gateway
In / Out pipe: WAN_UP_Q / WAN_DOWN_Q (those are queues in limiters)And thats about it.
If traffic stops you have the same probelm as I do if not you`re on 2.4.4 :) -
@maverick_slo
Yes I can confirm. Traffic stops immediately. (2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT (amd64)
built on Mon Jul 29 17:15:22 EDT 2019 )
For the second one, I can tell that I have problems with limiters since 2.4.4 released, it's working but not as expected by me. I did not reported it, because I think my ISP changed something in the same time, I do not have bufferbloat anymore without limiters and I got it when enabled it once again.
Anyway I can test speed difference later this week. -
Ok cool, thanks. I did report it and when I use them on lan, direction in they work ok, but there is traffic difference. Maybe its expected but it only happens with torrents so far.
-
Ok, I used floating rule for LAN, direction in. What I see immediatelly is that internet slows down and I have C rating on dslreports.com for bufferbloat.
Tested with 5 porn torrents, after 20 minutes it's went over 150mbit. The limiter is set to 100. -
Yeah thats bad :(
But at least porn torrents will be DL-ed faster :) -
This is really annoying.
Why WAN differs so much comparing to LAN?
This is after 2 minutes of torrenting. Limited to 75 Mbit/s.
And this one after 6 minutes.
LAN stays at 75Mbit/s and WAN goes up to 85 Mbit/s.
Why?
-
I have physical interface ix0 where I have ISP LAN ("ISP_LAN") DHCP 172.x.x.x assigned and also PPPoE ( "WAN" external IP) over it. When I look at Status / Interfaces or Statistics on dashboard all looks recent, PPPoE (named WAN) have huge amount of traffic and ISP_LAN have none or a couple of kbytes. When I look at Status / Traffic Graph then both WAN and ISP_LAN are virtually same, but WAN shows IP addresses and ISP_LAN not.
I don't know is it "by design" or there is something broken.
