Hi everyone,
I'm trying to use the full hardware of the router and getting the best setting to have lowest amount of bufferbloat without SQM is the first thing I'm also gonna do more things like install Tailscale for remote access to the router, Guest Network with VLAN , AGH for Adblocking etc
I have a doubt that this could be helped without SQM but do let me know if there is a way or I need to upgrade my Internet Package and enable SQM?
Uses of the internet in the house are Whatsapp Calling, Work From Home, Gaming, Social Media
I'm running OpenWrt 24.10.5 on the Netgear Orbi RBR50v1 and have a 20Mbps Transworld Fiber connection.
I saw in a post that you should test different Packet Steering and Flow Offloading configurations to find the optimal balance of bandwidth and latency (calculated as idle + max(up,down)).
These are the results :

I also tried using my smp_affinity script to manually pin IRQs to see if isolating the traffic helped:
Moved 2.4GHz WiFi to CPU1 (irq 67 68)
Moved Ethernet RX (Download) to CPU2 (irq 49 51 53 55)
Moved Ethernet TX (Upload) to CPU3 (irq 33 37 41 45)
Snapshot of the IRQ's after pining:

It is placebo... Number of flows has no effect on packets forwarded, only on local sockets. So your measurement is +/-30% accurete.

I didn't know about that I just did the test with every setting there was in Packet Steering.

Leaving that aside what do you think is the best setting to choose?
What is your uplink technology and your router model? (qualcomm-ax ????)
Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button (red circle; this works best in the 'Markdown' composer view in the blue oval):

20Mbps is very low for PON?
Are you testing wired? You have to set wifi country codes
Default was this.
- option packet_steering '0'
+ option packet_steering '1'
(do not change yet)

What do you think is it low?
Yes the tests were done wired, I was gonna do that
Oh and about Packet Steering I have it disabled intentionally was running the IRQ Script that's why that was the last test I did
The 20Mbps internet speed over optical cable is a bit slow..
Set that packet sterring to disabled / 0 and restart router and show /proc/interrupts
I'd say 4tx 4rx interrupts are best organised using (luci-app-)irqbalance

That's standard here the Fiber Connection only PTCL company still uses Copper I think to CAT? for Connections
Okay let me send you the /proc/interrupts after a restart
Run same waveform and https://bufferbloat.libreqos.com/vh/ couple of times to pump up the numbers....

Were they doing some QoS it would be much more usable.

Now install luci-app-irqbalance package and log out/in in luci and in services/irqbalance enable it.
Then rerun tests again. tx rx interrupts should hit each CPU....

All the test I did with Packet Steerings or just a normal Bufferbloat test?
Thanks
Just run one test now
(and one more interupts view after)

Disable offload and leave irqbalance on?
100ms steady latency looks very suspicious. Can you set up pppoe connection in your computer (along with enabling all firewalls) and try it connected directly without router? If it is C 100ms - that is how your line is.

That happens not a lot if you're talking about the Unloaded Latency most of the time its from 25ms-45ms today not sure why it high today I'll still do that and let you know
