I'm interesting in feedback on the latest release 18.06 in regards to QoS/SQM.
What is your current settings that works well for you? Example template:
What's not working, needs improvements/bugs/wishlist (speed, cpu load, software/hardware NAT, SFE, etc.)?
Thanks!
*Update: Any improvements in 18.06.1?

Hi @murraydr44, I believe that 18.06's version of sqm-scripts will interpret "sqm.eth1.tcMPU='64’" to be valid for cake also, so you might drop the "mpu 64" from i|eqdisc_opts...
To test this, just remove them and run:
/etc/init.d/sqm stop ; /etc/init.d/sqm start
tc -s qdisc
and look at the options cake reports as in-use...
Hi WRT3200acm I am on cable 200 down and 12 up.
I set sqm to 185000 down and 10500 up.
Queue Discipline cake piece_of_cake.qos.
Link Layer Adaptation Ethernet with overhead: to 18.
DSL reports says that I scor a A for buffer bloat.
I still get lag spikes and my sun gets lag when playing xbox and PC.I installed rich hanovers OpenWrtScripts
When running betterspeedtest.sh I get max pings of 100 +. The hi pings are just for upload. I have just flashed a new snapshot so I will test again after I reconfigure.

That is mutch better pings, but A lot of band width to give up!
Layered cake on my slow rural ADSL connection. Very pleased, can saturate the link eg with bittorrent and still have top notch latency with VoIP. Pie of cake, which I tried first, works equally well, you just have to get the speed settings right so that queues don't fill up. Also, traffic seemed to be more "even" resp. less "bursty" w/ pie of cake, right now I'm considering switching back.
Using fw connmarks to distribute some traffic to tins, egress and ingress.

I stopped using
option iqdisc_opts 'nat dual-dsthost'
option eqdisc_opts 'nat dual-srchost'
I have to dumb APS and it made them act strange. Think it mite be that it sees all the traffic to them as just one IP address.
is that 1050 or 10500 ?

The problem seems to be that the resulting sppeds are pretty much beloww the shaper setting, which might indicate an oveloaded CPU, could you run "top -d 1" on your router while running beterspeedtest, and monitor the idle%? That could indicate CPU shortage. If so it would be worthwhile figuring out why you are shrt on CPU cycles, for older router's the answer often is, the CPU runs at full throttle but that simply is not enough, for more modern routers like the r7800? it seems to be sometimes, that power saving interferes with the bandwidth shaper (here trying to disable all aggressive power savving features might help to diagnose the issue).
I see, I guess now that cake has made it into net-next, it seems unlikely to disappear any time soon, so exposing more of cake's unique features in sqm-scripts would make sense. But currently I -EOUTOFTIME....
I'm using a DIR-860L B1 as a (smart) switch + AP and i wonder if that isn't good for my SQM setup.
My main router is a WRT3200ACM and responsible for my whole network (DHCP, DNS, PPPoE, SQM) but the clients which are connected over my DIR-860L (wired and wireless) seem to act normal...
I've tested my SQM setup with the "betterspeedtest" script while downloading three torrents over qbittorrent and i think the results are okay but when i download a game over steam i get bad ping times (not very stable) at my other clients (hopefully that can be fixed somehow?).
At the moment i'm using the latest build of davidc502: Lede SNAPSHOT r7829-42dc0e2594 / LuCI Master (git-18.222.53504-c2d36ba)

SQM config:
Another thing that i'm confused about is that my config queue = 'eth1', i guess it should be wan or eth1.2 (my wan interface)... imho very strange.
config queue 'eth1'
option ingress_ecn 'ECN'
option egress_ecn 'ECN'
option itarget 'auto'
option etarget 'auto'
option interface 'pppoe-wan'
option debug_logging '0'
option verbosity '5'
option qdisc 'cake'
option qdisc_advanced '1'
option squash_dscp '1'
option squash_ingress '1'
option qdisc_really_really_advanced '1'
option iqdisc_opts 'nat dual-dsthost ingress'
option eqdisc_opts 'nat dual-srchost'
option linklayer 'ethernet'
option overhead '34'
option linklayer_advanced '1'
option tcMTU '2047'
option tcTSIZE '128'
option tcMPU '64'
option linklayer_adaptation_mechanism 'default'
option download '90000'
option upload '35200'
option enabled '1'
option script 'layer_cake.qos'
And right now i'm trying to figure out how to make SQM @layer_cake work with DSCP markings to put my steam downloads into the bulk class so my ping will stay low while someone on my network is downloading something over the steam client.
Mmmh, what do I get wrong in the following:
You run betterspeedtest from your router, so with a different IP address than the machine runnig the steam client, and now you only get roughly 50% of your unloaded 80 Mbps at the router. This looks to me that the dual-XXXhost isolation modes work as intended. Or is your point that the max and 90pct values for the Latency increased more than you would like?
This is mostly just cosmetic and should have no real effect on the configs utility.
I use the max bandwidth setting in the Steam client.
one thing that works well is using an http proxy such as squid with delay pools. You can decide what bandwidth to allocate based on the actual URL or at least the domain name (for HTTPS traffic) and the config is all in one place, affecting all the LAN machines.
I see in general with the 4.x kernels vs 3.x is high qos latency (lag spike) and cpu load, with speed > 100Mbps
