thanks for the corrections, I was confuse

1410

There is a reference about QoS bins above rule editor - everything in upper bin is treated identically.

1411

Hello,

i still get random ping spikes if the TV is streaming videos / movies while i'm playing Counter Strike 2 or use the ping commandD.

There is no difference between streaming providers or if i stream in 4K or 1080p.

I tried lowering the bandwidth, no difference, i created custom rules to move the TV traffic in to lower queues, not difference.

1412

Please fill issue template - what is your router, internet parameters, changes you made etc as follows:

1413

You prioritiz# up a lot, likely all/most of traffic which neitralizes intent of priority usage actually pre-empting lesser priority usage.

1414

This configures as if your game console was a game server in cloud. Please review your rules and mark outgoing connections to game server, as this will not match any realistic traffic.

There are exactly zero connections ever from the world to a closed port on your console. Just make 2 rules with CoD port lists as destination - one tcp one udp.

3074 is the main game interaction, start with that alone.

Try to paste your text output into ``` </> text boxes.

1419

Good morning, I am going to try netem for a while, any suggestions? Has anyone tried this qdisc and liked it? What configuration do you use? As for rules, the ones shared by @hudra are more than enough for cod?

1420
  1. @raynelv Please relax and make sure to format code, command-line output, and commands properly as follows:

Just make sure you "sandwich" your text between two rows of backtick characters ` (which themselves will be invisible in the preview) looking something like this in the editor:
```
Your Pasted Text as preformatted text with fixed width font
1
1111 (note with fixed-width fonts the numbers are right-aligned)
```
but looking like this in the rendered forum:

Your Pasted Text as preformatted text with fixed width font
   1
1111 (note with fixed-width fonts the numbers are right-aligned)
  1. Please don’t start cross-posting randomly, and don’t claim that we're laughing at router memory because that’s simply not true and doesn’t make any sense. WTF.

Now, regarding your issue:

  1. I'm not sure if lan0 is really your WAN interface. That could already be the cause of your problem. Please run the following command and post the output here:
ifstatus wan | grep -e device
  • Also, make sure that your gaming device consistently receives the IP address you are referring to in the rules.
  • Let us know which platform you are playing on—console or PC?

Also a serious question - @raynelv how did you get to such ruleset?

1422

@brada4 How do you mean that? It looks like he just took the rules from the README examples.

1423

@Hudra @brada4 With 1gb speeds is ack necessary? Netem is better on the output only? I woke up today wondering hehe

1424

ACK dropping is totally unnecessary on symmetrical connection.
netem needs to be one way only, its main function is if you get punished for being too close to game server.

1425

And permutated to make them not applicable to real life traffic ....

1426

Netem is really just meant for testing and experimentation... it's probably not the best qdisc for gaming in general. With netem, you can, for example, add latency or jitter to outgoing or incoming packets (or both) that end up in the realtime class (1:11). As @brada4 correctly mentioned, it makes the most sense to apply it only to outgoing packets.

Regarding your connection and the ACK limit function... do you have a 1 Gbit symmetrical connection?

You're basically right... the reversed rules shouldn't be necessary. However, I do get normal hits on them when I use them (for example when playing cod). They don’t cause any harm, so I keep them in the README (and use them myself). One benefit, at least, is that in the connections tab, the DSCP value doesn’t randomly jump back and forth from CS5 to CS0 (or whatever DSCP is being used).
