      @daemonix Hi, did you solve low number of matching data in floating rule of Codel?

        When you made the post with the 100/100 connection, how did you come with the bandwidth values for IN and OUT ?

        I have tried your settings but the upload is now very bad.

        Sometimes it even gets down to zero.

        Any idea ?

                No result. Up speed keeps dying after a few seconds.
                Which screen capture can I add to help figure out ?

                  @ninthwave Have you changed any other settings than applying fq-codel? You could try running TCP Optimizer if you are using windows.

                    For those who want to know how exactly I got it working, you can find the instructions here:

                    https://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/pfsense_traffic_shaping

                    A big thanks to @TheNarc for pointing me in this direction.

                    Also a big thanks to all the others who contributed to helping me troubleshoot. I am most grateful you took your own personal time to help me.

                    Thanks for this. I was running the dummynet version and after a few months I started to get my bandwidth fucked all the time... I figured something must have bugged out and did a fresh install and kept having the same issue.... Without dummynet and a ton of bufferbloat I was getting 990mbps download and 40 mbps upload.... My package from isp is 1gb/30mbps upload. Dummynet was giving me anywhere from 150mbps to 300mbps download and 0.1mbps upload.

                    I decided to go the wizard ALTQ version which is listed in your link and now I have A for bufferbloat and 980mbps download and 35 mbps upload. I'm satisfied with this thanks!

                      Maybe I should point out that I have a VOIP service which the vast majority of those having great result don't use.

                      Plus, I have enabled OpenVPN that I rarely use to check my IP cameras from my cell when I out. But from I have read, the OpenVPN service might be having an effect.

                        WAN-Out FQ-CoDel queue

                        Hello to all
                        I have been trying to configure my limiters based on @uptownVagrant tutorial. Im having some issues with the upload speeds as the Bandwidth parameter under the FQ_CODEL_OUT doesnt seem to correctly work for me.
                        52711a59-3926-449a-aa4e-b68a5ccf494a-image.png

                        i have a 150/10 cable connection which, without traffic shaper provides the following speed results. they are according to what i pay for.

                        Server: Movistar - Barranquilla (id = 17577)
             ISP: Telmex Colombia S.A.
         Latency:    41.25 ms   (2.60 ms jitter)
        Download:   156.14 Mbps (data used: 152.1 MB)
          Upload:    11.07 Mbps (data used: 11.5 MB)
     Packet Loss:     0.0%

                        Setting the upload to 9 Mbits/s will completely block all uploads from my LAN clients. internet access is pretty much dead with this setup.

                          Server: Movistar - Barranquilla (id = 17577)
     ISP: Telmex Colombia S.A.
 Latency:    36.99 ms   (3.52 ms jitter)
Download:   140.77 Mbps (data used: 171.6 MB)
Upload:     FAILED
[error] Protocol error: Did not receive HELLO

                        so i decided to "illogically" increase the upload. test with 50 Mbits/s

                          Server: Movistar - Barranquilla (id = 17577)
     ISP: Telmex Colombia S.A.
 Latency:    43.55 ms   (4.42 ms jitter)
Download:   142.25 Mbps (data used: 193.6 MB)
  Upload:     4.07 Mbps (data used: 7.0 MB)
Packet Loss:     0.0%

                        i increased the upload parameter one more time. this time to 100 Mbit/s (which is 10x larger than my real upload speed)

                          Server: Movistar - Barranquilla (id = 17577)
     ISP: Telmex Colombia S.A.
 Latency:    42.05 ms   (3.65 ms jitter)
Download:   139.95 Mbps (data used: 189.6 MB)
  Upload:    10.10 Mbps (data used: 16.5 MB)
Packet Loss:     0.0%

                        is there anything im missing or omitting on my setup?
                        why does the upload parameter seem to divide the upload speed by 10?

                        Here are my parameters so far:

                          @andresmorago Seems like you have switched the limit and flows parameter values.
                          Limit should be 10240 and flows 20480

                              @ricardox You also have 10240 configured for the limiter not 20480.

                              Can you achieve your max speed with such a low queue lengths?
                              I lost about 15Mbit/s from my 150Mbit download even with a 10K queue length.

                              Why is the gateway empty for the In queue fw rule? I thought it's a must.
                              And what's that 100 Weight for in the child queue? Never saw that elsewhere.

                              Thx

                                @mind12 is there a general rule of thumb how to choose target interval quantum limit and flow ?

                                  Idk, I have just used the same working config as others here from this post: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/112527/playing-with-fq_codel-in-2-4/815

                                    @andresmorago Check out your floating firewall rules in/out pipes - are they switched?

                                        @zwck I believe not, change the values and test, for my network these values work well.
