Playing with fq_codel in 2.4
-
someone try this at 100mbit+ speeds:
hw.igb.max_interrupt_rate="128000"
I don't know where to increase the rx ring, in linux we use "ethtool". Probably these?
hw.igb.rxd="4096"
hw.igb.txd="4096" -
for the record, this is cake:

note: I have $dayjob and sailing tomorrow. don't expect replies.I sure hope the icmp issue is nailed....
Happy debloating!

Here is the Atom C2758 doing 500mbit.
Here are the customized sysctl values:

-
I switched to a server closer and upped the computing power :D
This is shaped to 800Mbps

@uptownvagrant awesome. Is there a path for y'all to report this problem back to netgate and the freebsd devs? I'm totally over my head there. With nat you are using more cpu of course and there may be more variables worth tuning for more resources, the gc interval, and so on.
Your .5ms of smoothish jitter is a little puzzling but I can live with it. freebsd does not have sub 1ms timestamp resolution so perhaps that's it. What's 500usec between friends? :)
another nice flent thing is the ability to do comparison plots. The ecn result has smoother throughput.
-
@zwck you sure you shaped the dl to 800mbits? 'cause that's 28mbit. could also be your server or client has a fifo on it too, fq_codel or sch_fq on linux help with bidir tests a lot, also. or it could be flent-london... (flent's tcp_download test? the rrul test is extreme you can drill down with simpler tests)
(I thought you might be near england! It's really weird that I have such a grasp of worldwide rtts)
-
Hi and goodmoring. (for me at least)
Also i included @uptownVagrant 's tuning as we have more or less the same pfsense setup :D

It;s awesome to have more folk doing bidir network stress testing with flent. nobody in product marketing wants you to do that.
@zwck ok, I rebooted the box in london (it had a tcp tweak i didn't like), It should be back up in a minute. It looks to me though you just peak out at 1gbit total, though, on this hw...)
-
@zwck said in Playing with fq_codel in 2.4:
burst 0
Is there a way to tune the "burst" value in the limiter above? It's nice to see the dscp values actually being respected e2e here also. that never happens.
-
btw, the rrul test does not account for tcp ack traffic. When i see ~480Mbit of perfect fq_codeled bandwidth at 500mbit, it's a good assumption the remaining ~20mbit was acks as there's about a 20x1 ratio there

aftre london rebooted :D

well, the 500mbit results are awesome. there's 4 bursty drop episodes on the download that could be coming from anywhere for any cause - my box, yours, linode's shapers, the path, cosmic radiation.
try a rrul_be test to see if you get that big bursy drop. It's midnight here. I'm fading
-
@dtaht Thanks for the awesome help. It's in am's over here and i need to get to work. I have to read your flent documentation properly, enjoy your sailing trip.
-
I don't have much insight into that drop but the recovery pattern looks normal
I dont have bbr on that box so can't try that, and is not the miracle of the juniper bushes enough? 800mbit still weird, though?
this also show's diffserv cs1 being respected.
.... you normally shouldn't see all 3 flows dropping a packet at the same time, just one (and you'd see, as in earlier in the test the flows trading bandwidth back and forth in the tcp sawtooth pattern). with 3 simultaneous drops they all cut their bandwidth in half and utilization is lowered while they recover.

I do gotta say I think these major drops are significant... but I'm tired! need to fire up a different netperf server in a different cloud to see if it's on my end. Got a fav cloud provider? this is linode....
or @uptownvagrant can weigh in
