sometime between 2.9.12 and 2.9.18 there was a change that has been eluding us for some time now, and causing us some major problems, and has nearly lost us a bunch of customers.
in older versions when a user connected via PPPoE and you specified a rate-limit setting via radius, it created the simple queue of the queue type “Default”, but sometime later a new queue type was added, Default-Small which is the new ppp type used. well, default-small defaults to type pfifo, which doesn’t work very well for some reason. we have always changed the type default to SFQ because it seems to work the best. so for the last few weeks we’ve been having problems with throughput, and it was 100% the queue type that was at fault.
I would like to see where this change was documented, and if it’s not the change log, WHY NOT???
