Playing with fq_codel in 2.4

Looks good to me. Mine at home is the same, with lower speeds tough. When You do the dslreports test, You can open up htop(prefer it because it's easier to deal with multiple cores) in one window and "ipfw sched show" in another to see if the limiters are actually matching traffic. Anything else on this box(like squid or snort)?

Well I have Suricata, no squid. Although I turned Suricata off and it made no difference.
Download maxes the CPU, but upload doesn't seem to do much...

Hm, I don't think You will have a great experience with all those thing's You've loaded on that little box. I read somewhere the APU2 is good for ~400Mpbs without Suricata/other heavy software.
I would try disabling all add-on(haProxy, Openvpn, pfblocker, Suricata, snmp, fancy unbound settings, tftp-server etc.) and try vanilla pfsense with just the limiters(via floating rules) and a simple "Allow all" on the LAN side. If your CPU is peaked(like You have on the download test), then better run without limiters.
-
Oh? The CPU load on it is almost non-existant usually. This is the first time I've seen it go so high now with the traffic shaping. Even so, I can understand that the load may be an issue for download and I'm okay with that.
It's the upload speed that's annoying me...... which is not doing much on the CPU side.
-
Well If I look at the picture, the upload is mostly pegged by Surricata. So that would be the first thing I disable. Also note that not all packages work normally with limiters. There used to be issues with Suricata/Squid and limiters, I don't know if it was ever fixed.
-
Okay, I disabled all of the packages, ran the test, upload good.
Then I enabled each one and tested until the upload speed decreased.So it seems I have discovered the culprit... I have an OpenVPN Client setup to PIA, this is what's causing the bad upload speeds. I have an alias with an IP range defined, and basically everything within that alias should go over the VPN. And then I have an interface & gateway which is bound to the OpenVPN client; with a Firewall rule which says anything to that alias should use the VPN gateway.
Is there anything special that I would need to do with my rules in this situation? The traffic itself isn’t going over the VPN.
-
My guess would be to place it at the very top of the floating rule set. I believe pf does "match most specific" unless "quick match" is selected.

pf is last match wins unless quick is enabled. Quick is enabled by default on interface rules but has to be selected on floating rules
-
Good to hear. I did not know about the default quick on interface rules. That explains some things.
-
I've rebuilt my network a bit, but I am not sure when this was happened — one PC behind pfSense always get the A or A+ rating and the other get the D or even lower grade rating on dslreports, both are on the same LAN. FQ_CODEL configuration is similar to the others in this thread except only that it is applied on the LAN side (LAN to any). When I disable limiters, then both PCs get A or A+ rating. Does anyone have an idea, what is going wrong?

What about Dual WAN?
I've used the previous post (https://forum.netgate.com/post/807490), with my best guess modifications for two WANs (duplicated rules for each WAN, and duplicated queues), and received good grades on the DSLReports test. However, I use a dual WAN fallover setup. I noticed, today, when WAN1 went down and PFSense switched to WAN2, all traffic stopped. Removing the floating rules fixed the issue.
The two WANs have different speeds.
Does anyone have this working with dual WAN setup (different WAN speeds) in a fallover configuration? If so, what do your floating rules look like?
@uptownVagrant Do you have any suggestions to modify your steps for dual WAN w/ fallover?
Thanks, in advance, for any suggestions.
-
OK! I have fallen down the rabbit hole of bufferbloat! EEK!
I've followed the Netgate video/slides on creating limiters without much benefit.
I get a B for bufferbloat at DSLReports and A's for Quality and Overall.
I have a 300/25 (advertised) Comcast cable connection. Tried changing the bandwidth down (reducing) , and the queue lengths (+/-/eliminating) w/o benefit. At this point, the DL queue length is set at 2000 and seems to be best so far. UL does not appear to be a problem. Any thing I can do short of getting a life? :) -
@provels without the limiter rules enabled, and your filters reloaded and old states killed, what speeds are you seeing when you run the dslreports.com/speedtest for 60 seconds? It could be that Comcast's burst capacity during short tests may be heavily skewing your results - I seem to remember the default test duration only being 20 seconds. I think you may have to create an account and go into the preferences of the speed test to increase upload and download duration to 60s. There's always the flent project if you're savvy.
Another thought, depending on how close your current limiter config is to the Comcast circuit sustained cap, you may be running into some buffering on your cable modem. What DOCSIS version is your cable modem operating?
I'm assuming you're testing with a computer attached to your router/switch with an Ethernet cable and not using Wi-Fi.
You could try halving your advertised values in your limiters and then increasing from there after each test. Note, if you're using FQ_CoDel then the queue length that you set in the limiter config is not being used. FQ_CoDel manages queue lengths dynamically and works to dequeue packets within the target you set.
Here's a guide that might help although I would suggest leaving target, interval, quantum, limit, and flows set as the pfSense defaults for the initial tests.:

@ohbobva I'm running dual WAN with different speeds, and all you need to do is duplicate your setup. i.e. create four different limiters - upstream WAN1, upstream WAN2, downstream WAN1, downstream WAN2, and then a queue within each of those limiters. Set up four floating rules for WAN1-IPv4, WAN1-IPv6, WAN2-IPv4, WAN2-IPv6 and it all works as advertised. Be careful not to just create two queues within the same limiter as the limit will be the aggregate bandwidth of the two.

Did as you suggested, I get results as follows. Looked at flent, but I'm Windows. My upload is no issue, with or without limiters, but the download bloat is normally in the 60-90ms range.
179/24 Mbps 189/23 169/24
This result is pretty typical.
This is a typical result using the Ookla Speed Test (client version)
>Another thought, depending on how close your current limiter config is to the Comcast circuit sustained cap, you may be running into some buffering on your cable modem. What DOCSIS version is your cable modem operating?
Modem is a Netgear CM600, DOCSIS 3.0, 24x8, Broadcom
I'm assuming you're testing with a computer attached to your router/switch with an Ethernet cable and not using Wi-Fi.
Yes, testing wired, but my pfSense is a VM running in Hyper-V and I'm testing from the host Desktop session. Maybe I'll wire up my laptop.
You could try halving your advertised values in your limiters and then increasing from there after each test.
I'll start by halving my DL BW and add from there.

I can start a new thread if more appropriate...
What is the best way to prioritize WiFi Calling traffic while using an FQ_CoDel limiter setup?
I have a setup with 30 - 80 WiFi clients. Currently using limiters and FQ_CoDel which seems to share the bandwidth very nicely. We have been having problems with WiFi Calling not being super reliable. We are in a cellular dead zone so people are relying on it.
I was able to improve WiFi calling reliability by changing the Firewall Optimization to Conservative and changing the outbound NAT mode to Automatic rule generation.
I would like to further optimize by making sure all the WiFi calling traffic has top priority.

This really is the thread from hell isn't it? I'd do a new thread.
Over on linux (and not bsd as yet), we did this:
https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/atc17/atc17-hoiland-jorgensen.pdf
Skip to the MOS score at the end, and work back. There's support now for intel, qca, and mediatek chips. However... if you can get the clients to dscp mark for the VO or VI queue for how your AP defines it, that helps in that direction, and
it is generally possible to build a more complicated qos/sqm setup that explicitly prioritizes voip out of the ipfw tools.In general I'm a big believer in short (fair) queues and lots of 'em, and not huge on prioritization. sch_cake (also mentioned on this thread), has some built-in optimizations as well.

I clear them every time. Also monitor syslog to check if there are any errors.

I keep seeing these errors in my system log-
fq_codel_enqueue maxidx = 797 fq_codel_enqueue over limit fq_codel_enqueue maxidx = 797 fq_codel_enqueue over limit fq_codel_enqueue maxidx = 797 fq_codel_enqueue over limit fq_codel_enqueue maxidx = 797 fq_codel_enqueue over limit fq_codel_enqueue maxidx = 797
They seem to show at random times maybe 2 or 3 times a week and will repeat for a few minutes before stopping. Not sure if they represent a problem or how to fix them? Could definitely use any advice.

Hi guys, I'm new here and just followed the YouTube video from Netgate on how to set up fq codel with limiters. But then browsing this thread, I see people saying those settings are wrong and to use 'Tail Drop' as the queue management algorithm? I'm confused, why?
Also, any recommendation on settings I should use? I have a gigabit verizon fios connection. It's hit 940/900 on Verizon's test if I recall correctly. Actually the upload has gotten over 900 a few times, the download is usually 500-700 on normal speed test sites except Verizon's where it can hit 900+ (and dslreports which has gotten it to 800+ a few times). I have a Plex Media Server and a gaming machine on the network.
Using the settings from the YouTube vid got my Bufferbloat score to go from A to A+ in dslreports' test.
-
@subzerogts If you are at A+, I don't expect you have much to gain, LOL. I followed the video and also tried the tail drop config. Nothing seems to help me. Bloat is a B/C, Quality is A/B and Speed is D/F, even though the Ookla speedtest client gets me my advertised 300/25 to various local servers (even when limiting the Down limiter to 150. Nonsensical. Completely random speedtest-cli results testing from an inside server through pfSense and at the DSLReports test page. I don't know if maybe it's Comcast, my modem or what.
-
If I want to disable the limiters, I know there are checkboxes for that. But if I just disable the floating rules and reset states, that gets them out of the system anyway, right?

@provels - how do the results change if you reduce the number of parallel streams during the DSL Reports speed test? Also, have you tried changing / tuning any of the fq-codel parameters?
Something else I thought of: I admit that I don't know a lot about cable modems, but is buying a DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem an option? As far as I can tell DOCSIS 3.1 includes AQM part of the specification:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8034

When you select FQ_CODEL as scheduler you don't have to worry about setting up queue management algorithms for the queues because fq-codel manages per flow created packet queues automatically as part of fq-codel algorithm. This is why you don't really see any difference in performance if you e.g. select Codel as the queue management algorithm if you have FQ_CODEL selected.
Having said that, fq-codel is a bit unique in this regard (in that it also manages per flow queues vs. just scheduling packets). In a way you can kind of think of fq-codel as a hybrid or all-in one packet scheduler and queue management algorithm. However, this is not the case for some of the other algorithms you have available to choose from as well as schedulers (e.g. QFQ, Round Robin, etc.). These are actually just scheduling algorithms that determine how packets should be dequeued from one more packet queues (e.g. Round Robin, weighted, etc.) When using one of these scheduling-only algorithms, you'll still have to setup packet queues and then choose an algorithm to manage those queues. In such as scenario, choosing a queue management algorithm will be important and will make a difference in performance.
Hope this helps.

When I saw these messages I ended up doubling the limit value from 10240 to 20480. That might be over-compensating somewhat, but thankfully I have not had any issues since. Hope this helps.

@jasonraymundo31 I'll give it a try.
You can see what I meant regarding having different limiters per WAN connection, and a single queue inside each limiter. In the second picture you can also see the use of a floating rule per IPv4 or IPv6 version of each WAN connection. In this instance my IPv6 is provided by Hurricane Electric, and is relatively irrelevant in this matter as it's so rarely used.

Any ideas of why I still have incorrect traceroute?

@JonH I have the same problem, and after reading 600 more posts in this topic, I believe I have the answer for you.
You're using a traceroute that uses UDP by default, and you're shaping TCP and UDP, and this is a bug in pfSense.
You can work around it by using ICMP for traceroutes, e.g. (disclaimer: I'm using Linux):
alias traceroute='traceroute -I'
Some here have mentioned that you may also be able to work around it by applying the limits on LAN rules, not floating rules, however the alias is good enough for me for now, so I stopped reading at around 600 posts and can't show you what to do there :)

@forbiddenlake Thanks for this info. I backed out of fq_codel a couple of months ago but may revisit it using the info you provided.

What I don't understand is that with no limiters and QOS disciplines not enabled, my traceroutes are still not working. Where else could there be an issue? I don't need qos now with gigabit fiber.
