I wouldn't normally have the iPad set to 96% it was more of a test to see if the setting was working and reserving the bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 21, 2018 Administrators Share Posted November 21, 2018 Thanks for that, were you doing both tests at the same time by any chance? If so they would split the bandwidth available 52 between both the tests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 21, 2018 Administrators Share Posted November 21, 2018 Because share excess is enabled its trying to ensure both devices have bandwidth. As downloads will download as fast as possible because theyre going at the same time they'll go halves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I have share excess enabled is the system going to honour the 25Mbps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 21, 2018 Administrators Share Posted November 21, 2018 No it shouldn't buffer at all due to the Anti-Bufferbloat and share excess will constantly be working to make sure each has enough Yorkshirelion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was to turn off share excess I’m guessing it would be a static reserved amount. I guess what im asking also, is there any point in reserving bandwidth for devices or just let them all share what is left after the Bufferbloat reserve. ‘Thanks again.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 22, 2018 Administrators Share Posted November 22, 2018 Its basically ensuring that the device can get at least that if needs be so if all other devices need a lot of bandwidth they will have to share amongst themselves but the shield has 30% which it needs so we can't take any bandwidth from it. Static yes reserved, can't go above that even if it needed more. Yeah In my recommended settings I usually don't suggest specific bandwidth allocation values as share excess with Anti-Bufferbloat does a good enough job as is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
