QoSmate: (Yet Another) Quality of Service Tool for OpenWrt

[Rafumfps]

every time my router starts qosmate is disabled, this is normal hudra.

Check if you have all packages installed, its the main reason, in every restart if script detect that you dont have some kmods, he will try to install them and if during this process you change something in script, it will be disabled.

I have a query. If you need a WiFi AP, IP 192.168.0.126. Have Low Priority. Is it necessary to create a rule with CS2?
Or automatically all LAN connections go to Low priority class (1:14)?

I think it depends on whether it's just a simple AP or another router with a separate (NATed) network. Based on your screenshot, it seems like the AP is just a dumb AP.

Could you clarify your goal here? Are you trying to deprioritize all devices connected to the AP or all LAN devices in general, and if so, why?

Also, keep in mind that when using CS2 with HFSC, marked traffic will be deprioritized to low priority (1:14), which is what you're aiming for. However, if you switch to using CAKE as the root qdisc, the traffic will be prioritized instead. In CAKE (at least with diffserv4), CS2 traffic falls into the video tin, which means it will be prioritized.

I think I should add more DSCP values to the HFSC priority map to maintain consistent prioritization across different qdiscs. I'll look into that.

@NeMe_FuUuRyyyyY

And by the way, my online game improved a lot.
I appreciate your great work

Thanks, appreciate it!

@Rafumfps

hudra, when my ipv6 is on, QOSmate is not working, because it only works with IPV4, I have already tested with ipv6 on and ipv6 off, there is no chance of QOSmate working with ipv6 active.

Could you please describe in more detail what exactly isn't working? What errors are you encountering, and what specifically is failing? Simply saying "it's not working with IPv6" isn't very helpful in this case.

@Rafumfps

every time my router starts qosmate is disabled, this is normal hudra.

Regarding this issue. Please check what @di_Niko suggested and can you also perform a test for me:

1. Restart your router
2. When the router is rebooted wait 2-3 more minutes
3. Then show me the whole ouptut of:

logread | grep qosmate

4. Then show me the output of

service qosmate restart

and

service qosmate status

@Hudra

es simplemente un punto de acceso tonto.

As is, it is an AP mode wifi router. As you see in the screenshot, all those connected to this AP. I intend for them to have low priority. And I use HFSC. I avoid using CAKE so that it does not consume a lot of processor from the main router.

@Hudra

Could you clarify your goal here? Are you trying to deprioritize all devices connected to the AP or all LAN devices in general, and if so, why?

The idea is that everyone who connects to the AP 192.168.0.126
Don't consume so much priority. The IPs you see in the rule called LOW-CS2. They are devices connected to this AP. (smart TV, cell phones, notebook, etc.)
I don't know if I'm good at doing this. But I wanted you to confirm that I do assign the CS2 class to the AP. All connected are in the Low priority lane.

[Hudra]

@NeMe_FuUuRyyyyY

I intend for them to have low priority

But why? Why do you believe that will help you? Have you read the following:

@Hudra

If your primary focus is gaming, then I suggest to only prioritize your gaming traffic. If you later encounter issues with voice chat, streaming, or slow website loading, you can then selectively prioritize those services. As @moeller0 wisely noted a few times before:

@moeller0

As a rule of thumb, prioritisation works best if used sparingly, as for every packet treated to lower delay, other packet(s) will be treated to higher delay or even drops.

@moeller0

always make sure that any prioritisation rule you use has verifiable positive effect on your traffic (be harsh here, if a rule appears sensible, but does not result in measurable improvement, drop that rule).

So, remember to prioritize sparingly.

So I would also deprioritize only if needed...

@NeMe_FuUuRyyyyY

I avoid using CAKE so that it does not consume a lot of processor from the main router.

I just wanted to clarify...

@NeMe_FuUuRyyyyY

Don't consume so much priority.

You said:

@NeMe_FuUuRyyyyY

my online game improved a lot.

So, I guess your priority is gaming. If you use HFSC and ensure that the important gaming traffic is assigned to the High Priority [Realtime] (1:11) class, you won't need to deprioritize all other traffic. The default class should handle the majority of the traffic pretty good.

[NeMe_FuUuRyyyyY]

@Hudra

But why? Why do you believe that will help you?

To make sure that all the traffic that the AP emits. Have low priority CS2, I just wanted to make sure this is true.

@Hudra

while with HFSC, unmarked traffic will land in the Normal (1:13) class.

Seeing this comment, I understand that any device I connect to my main Router. Ends on Normal (1:13) CS0. But pay attention to what you recommend. Just prioritize my PC and the rest stay all in CS0.

I'm excited to announce that I've created a new "Connections" tab for QoSmate, similar to the one found in OpenWrt under realtime graphs/connections. This feature is not yet part of the official version, but I'm looking for testers who can provide feedback. If it proves stable and valuable to users, I plan to incorporate it into the official release.

Key Features of the New Connections Tab:

1. Leverages conntrack data: It reads DSCP values and other information like protocol, source and destination IPs, bytes, and packets sent for each connection.
2. Real-time calculations: The tab displays average packets per second, max packets per second, and average kbit/s. These calculations are based on data from the last 10 seconds, providing a good approximation of current network activity.
3. Sorting and Filtering: Users can sort and filter the connections table. For example, to view all active connections marked with CS5, simply enter "cs5" in the filter field.
4. Game Analysis: It can be used to analyze game network behavior. For instance, to check the tickrate of Call of Duty: Warzone, filter by port 3074 and sort descending by Avg PPS. Join a game, and the Avg PPS should give you an approximation of the game's tickrate. (Note: This comparison is most accurate for games that don't use sub-tickrate systems like CS2, which sends multiple packets per tick.)

How to Install and Test:

Please note that this feature is still experimental. While the core functionality should be working, there might be some bugs or areas for improvement.

If you encounter any issues, have suggestions for improvements, or find this feature particularly useful, please let me know. Your input will help determine whether this becomes a permanent part of QoSmate.

Here is a screenshot of th UI:

[Rafumfps]

Hydra, one question, this connections will inform everything that is running on our connection or just the IP that we prioritize in.

[rwt]

Hi I wanted to try out your new connections tab but after installing and clicking on 'Connections' I get this message
" RPCError

RPC call to luci.qosmate/getConntrackDSCP failed with error -32000: Object not found at ClassConstructor.handleCallReply (https://192.168.1.1/luci-static/resources/rpc.js?v=git-24.086.45142-09d5a38:11:3)"

I'm on OpenWrt 23.05.4

[Hudra]

Just try it out But seriously it should contain every connection in the conntrack table.

[Hudra]

Do you get any errors when installing the new tab with the command i provided? Just run the one-liner again and show me the whole output.

Also please show me the output of:

opkg list-installed | grep luci-lib-jsonc

and

opkg list-installed | grep luci*

Have you also tried clearing your browser cache?

Mmh strange...

What happens when you enter:

ubus call luci.qosmate getConntrackDSCP

... you don't need to show me the entire output of this command, and please ensure that any sensitive information is redacted.

lua /usr/libexec/rpcd/luci.qosmate

root@ImmortalWrt:~# ubus call luci.qosmate getConntrackDSCP

Alright thanks.

And now please:

[Hudra]

The script file (Lua file) is present, but it seems like it can't be executed. This is likely because Lua is missing.

What's the output of:

opkg list-installed | grep lua

[rwt]

yea lua was missing for me and when I rebooted the router everything seems to work fine
