Newfie Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Is CC on all the time? going to be hard to stress your line due to throughput but try congestion control off and see what happens so you get to see what the results are then play with the sliders. I might be inclined to lower the upload to see what happens but have a play, start at 100% then lower them but try hammering your connection when testing. You may have to be brutal but try for example 13% on upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will turn off cc and give it a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC is on Always However for these test I put it on Never, I ran three CB in DumaOS and 3 DSLReports simultaneously, these are the results: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfie Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Need to watch multiple streams like twitch, download and upload but it’s not going to be easy. your speed dropped yet CC is off? Interesting, try turning it on and try 60% download and 20% upload and run some tests. See if PingPlotter shows no spikes.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newfie Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 18 minutes ago, Wayne said: 60/20 Always Ok, another dropped state with the red line, strange so now try down at 50% and up at 13% and test again. if your connection is 700mbps and you set 60% your download should have been around 420mbps yet it shows 646mbps. Could you double check that too with another speed test other than DSLreports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newfie Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Ok thanks, put them back to 70%. There’s something strange going on as CC does not seem to be limiting your connection if the DSLreports speed is accurate.  The DSLreport shows it’s fine but PingPlotter is showing higher latency but I don’t understand if CC is set to always why it’s not capping your connection. could you show a picture or let me know if the very first line of the route is showing packet loss. @Netduma Fraser and @Netduma Liam in to see if they can add some info to see why CC is not capping your connection as intended.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 11, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 11, 2021 With your speeds I don't actually think QoS will be very needed for you, if you disable QoS fully and re-run the tests do you get packet loss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do use the adblocker but I'm sure I can substitute. I'm still confused why it's not limiting my speeds, is the move here just shutting it off? I was looking to get the best bullet reg possible In this test on pingplotter I use the DSLreport and CN on DumaOS to saturate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 12, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 12, 2021 Are ALL devices connected to the router or are some connected to the modem? Do you use PPPoE, IPv6, DHCP identifiers etc in order to get a connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPv6 is off for both WAN and LAN. DHCP is enabled but i'm not using any "identifiers"? Edit: Uploaded Picture -> I left pingplotter open while sleeping for a few hours (8:00-2:00), nobody was using the network at this time as we were both sleeping. This is also a different domain, I used pingplotter.com instead of twitter.com like the pictures above incase I was having issues connecting to twitter.com As you can see I'm getting packetloss, and it shows the netduma up top (45% Packet Loss) QOS is On - > Never -> 100/100 -> Goodput On Newfie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 12, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 12, 2021 Me and @Newfie have been discussing your issue and Newfie found that there is a potential issue with Verizon and that could be getting you the results you're seeing. On PingPlotter could you click Edit -> Options -> Engine -> and change the Packet Type to UDP and then re-run the tests and provide us with the results please?

I've been talking to @Newfieas well and we already changed the packet type to UDP because of the whole verizon fios thing. Newfie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfie Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I think the first hop is fine as it’s not carried through the other hops and it’s not unusual to see hops not working so that’s fine but your round trip looks great and there’s no packet loss on the graph.  Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 12, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 12, 2021 Yeah it does look like the issue Newfie was referring to that caused that fake packet loss so thats great. Newfie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 I just wanted to say thank you both for your help, I appreciate it more than both of you know! @Newfie@Netduma Fraser After getting everything sorted out, what exactly is considered a perfect buffer bloat? I'm assuming no latency, low numbers and a small red i? After doing a ton of tests on DSLReports I have found that QoS 25/10 gives me no yellow in the DSLReports test Newfie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 12, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 12, 2021 You're very welcome! That's very good actually, both are very close to your idle ping which is what you want in an ideal world! I would set Congestion Control to Auto Enable as when you're not gaming you won't want to be throttled that much I imagine! Newfie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
