Harley Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Sorry to be back posting again about the same thing but I am still having issues with Congestion Control. I thought I had sorted this. Having found a problem with the upload congestion control in the XR700 I went back to the XR1000 and it was all working just fine. Now its not. What I would do with congestion control is the braodband test with it set to 70%up and 70% down and set to always. Now I can assure you that a little while back doing that would limit the download to 215 and the upload to 34 in any test I did. Going to the XR700 it didn't limit the upload though. That's documented in other posts I made. But now look what happens when I do a test with the XR1000 - Its showing full speeds without any limitation. But what is also odd is that it is showing almost no Buffer Bloat which believe me is wrong. If I do an independent test of this... You can actually see that the XR1000 IS limiting the download but not the upload ( oh GOD that's the same as the XR700 ) but it is not even displaying the limitation in the test, which it certainly used to. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 So Connection Benchmark is not supposed to show the speeds being affected by Congestion Control, it should show you the speeds without any intervention from QoS. That element is actually working properly. Do you have any rules enabled in Traffic Prioritisation? If so could you please disable them and just run a third party speed test to see if they return back to normal. If they don't, have there been any changes at all in your network that you can think of recently? It seems odd that this would just start occurring out of the blue.

Well no, I mean I did do an independent test and while the Download is correctly limited the Upload is not. I will run the test. No, there have been no changes. This is the result I had when I did the same test a few weeks ago.... You can clearly see that it is limited on Download and Upload. Anyway, I will do that test...

Harley Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 OK test done. No. No difference. Here is the sequence. This is the test a few weeks ago... This is the test now... And before you say it (!!!) I tried disabling all of the priorities and it made no difference. The only possible difference was the router had been power cycled before the first test a few weeks ago.

Harley Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 Oh wait I think I have made a horrible mistake. My logic is flawed.... I forgot to place the XR700 in series to disable pppoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 17, 2022 Administrators Share Posted June 17, 2022 Yes PPPoE is the likely culprit, so having the ISP modem/router handle that instead of the XR should make it work correctly Harley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologies. I completely forgot to connect up the XR700. Incidentally, the reason I test it now and then is to keep an eye on the latency and oddly it now seems to have been fixed. I was suffering consistent increases in latency during uploads. The connection was taken down for eight hours last Sunday and testing it today there have been almost no increases at all. Kinda ironic that after all my fuss about Congestion Control that I might not need it any more! Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly how it should work so good to hear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
