CRarsenxL Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Traffic prio is essentially extra packet processing time. Traffic prio adds packet processing time vs no traffic prio . say a user has a gig connection. should that user use traffic prio? Since that user has gig aka the highway can handle more, the only thing really beneficial to that user would be buffer bloat right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 16, 2021 Administrators Share Posted February 16, 2021 The extra time it takes would be minimal and far lower than allowing the packets to be sent out on their own according to the network queue. You will still have a network queue on gigabit but it will be cleared faster. If anything bufferbloat is the one that is least likely to affect someone using gigabit.

CRarsenxL Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Would there be a way to test this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 16, 2021 Administrators Share Posted February 16, 2021 You could use iperf and measure the jitter delay perhaps. You would have to setup a test environment though with your network: https://iperf.fr/ I would suggest you go by feel though as it can be confusing to use if you're not familiar with it.

CRarsenxL Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 With the xr right now, I’m having better success with no traffic prio and super low buffer 150/100 (throttled my gig that low)any reason why it feels better? These r the best results I get in CB which is why I did so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 By no traffic prioritisation do you mean all rules unticked? Even DumaOS Classified games? Throttling your bandwidth that low will likely move the network queue to the XR, so that makes sense as to why it feels better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRarsenxL Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Traffic prio isn’t catching stuff on ps5. A lot of users are reporting issues. I don’t know if it’s Cold War or the ps5 or both. But throttling my bandwidth to super low ( good CB results) , and no prio makes it balanced. any reason why traffic prio feels worse?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 23, 2021 Administrators Share Posted February 23, 2021 Everyone's connections are different so it will vary from person to person on what they find works the best for them. You're likely seeing the benefits of lag compensation with that setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRarsenxL Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Well I’m simply following the best CB results. How would that be lag compensation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRarsenxL Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Also, how accurate is CB? When I test on other sites like fast.com which has a underload tester it gives me horrible latency but the CB says it’s A+ (12msD, 12msUP, 12 ping) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 24, 2021 Administrators Share Posted February 24, 2021 Without using Prioritization your gaming packets are in the network queue so they will have some delay on them, thats why it may be LC but if that's what works for you that is great. CB is pretty accurate on the R2, the other platforms need a bit more fine tuning. It uses the Google server but because it does it from the router level it bypasses the connection between your device to router and router to internet so it is more accurate.

You said Traffic prioritization makes your connection say my XBOX in TP under games console will not obey to bandwidth and CC so my thinking is i hope im wrong but by putting my console in TP i will end up with me network default speeds and ping? And without CC my ping is awful is this the way it works. Or with CC and TP i end up with be truly best set up? Sorry to be a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you've added it with manual ports it should not cover the ports required for a speed test so it would just be your game packets being prioritized. It sounds like you have local congestion which CC is definitely couter acting to get you a good ping. I would definitely advise using CC & TP together but it's all about finding what works best for you. GBDJG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any secondary source I could that can fact check CB? Also, games console doesn’t capture properly for the Ps5. It’s a known issue. What ports do you recommEnd in the mean time. I doubt that will fix it but worth a try I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, basically TP should not give your console full speeds if you're using DumaOS Classified Games or the Games Console service - it should just prioritize gaming. 33 minutes ago, CRarsenxL said: Is there any secondary source I could that can fact check CB?
