Unfortunately I don't understand and therefore I can't configure the instances! It's written nowhere that you have to add ifb4 according to the configuration... I don't know what to say

My ISP asks me: In order to narrow down the problem, please send us the MTR of your game server and three speed tests. What is your ping on the game?
My question is: What is the command line to answer their question? mtr ( add Ip ) ? Add timestamp? How do you do it?
"mtr" is an alternative to traceroute.
(Installable package for OpenWrt.)
opkg update
opkg install mtr
mtr actually shows high latency for the connection step from Europe to USA (Stockholm to Washington) for that ea.com address that you showed in the sceenshots
root@router1:~# mtr easo.ea.com
My traceroute [v0.95]

Based on that example, my latency is small from me to my ISP (DNA) and even upto the next country Sweden. Then the transatlantic link causes latency, and finally the internal connections in USA are again quick.
Might be the same for you. Not much for a local ISP to do.
Ps.
If your your question was specifically about the mtr command line for screenshot / copypaste, the reporting mode might be easiest:
20 pings and report: mtr -r -c 20 easo.ea.com

Too bad I don't play too much on PC. but while playing online I noticed this same and permanent latency, this famous delay that makes me play clearly in the past and never in the present ... Yes you are right, I'd better reread my thread from the beginning and collect the questions and information that everyone has asked, besides I'm embarrassed not to have done, there are many contributors who helped me here and I drowned I lost my head in the test, forgive me for this negligence involuntary 
My connections to migrate from vdsl to FTTS, I went from 70 mb to 450 mb and gain some ms!
Unfortunately the latency phenomenon has increased.
Logically, when there is a bottleneck somewhere on the network, the latency phenomenon increases. Because if we take as example a pipe with a relatively small diameter (bottleneck) it is easier to pass 70 people than 450.
On the other hand, if this diameter is really bigger, the 70 or 450 people will be able to circulate without jostling each other or creating a traffic jam.
Excuse me for the metaphor.
I may be wrong in this too simplistic explanation
A reliable test with MTR should last at least ten minutes.
The MTR output displays data for two areas of analysis: lost packets and latency. Since a single test with MTR is unidirectional, it would be advisable to trace in both directions.
We realize that the results are very often different in one direction or the other.
There is a good chance that the return path is very very different but how to prove it? Especially to my ISP!
Sorry for the confusion.
But is a possible way forward:
- install sqm-scripts and luci-app-sqm
- configure and test sqm
- add the interfaces from sqm into cake-autorate_config.sh
I like mtr -ezb4w -c 100 1.1.1.1 just replace the ip address, this will run for 100 seconds and plot a report after that time. For interactive use where you see updates in real-time use mtr -ezb 1.1.1.1
You can install and run mtr from your router's command line interface (via ssh).

Thank you ...
add sqm interfaces in cake-autorate_config.sh
My concern is clearly here.
In dl ifb4wan and for ul ifb4br-lan
But nothing happens
In luci a works I set sqm 10 /10 but the config.sh file has no effect

This doesn't seem right. How have you setup SQM in LuCi? Screenshot might be helpful.

I am at work unfortunately I have no image to transmit to you immediately.
I can tell you that I configured simply I activated sqm by checking the box, choose interface wan and inserted the bandwidth of 10000 in both directions, I have of course activated cake and piece of cake then save and apply
Is it advisable to make a game during the test?
If yes, is it necessary to locate the game's IP server and test on the same server that I play live?
Well, let's start with your static non-autorate sqm configuration.
Please post the output of:
tc -s qdiscwith sqm enabled- a link to a completed waveform bufferbloat test: https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat
With that in hand let's figure out how/if static sqm works as expected. Since autorate builds on top of your initial cake configuration this is the fundament we need to be sure works.

Let's not start with equal rates for both directions as that will not allo us to figure out whether we got the two directions properly assigned, so please repeat the waveform test also with sqm set to:
download: 10000
upload: 5000

So according to this information the interfaces to use in autorate are:
dl_if=ifb4wan # download interface
ul_if=wan # upload interface
Please try to copy these as is into your cake-autorate_config.sh and restart cake-autorate.sh.
Your test result (9.2/4.19 indicates that the dl_if and ul_if lines above should be correct).
EDIT: I screwed up, you were doing fine, the cake configuration matches the speedtest result...

Are you running cake-autorate as a service? If so restart it:
