This test says my uplink buffer times are 2.8 to 3.4 seconds on my dsl provider.
A test from a friend’s house on cable has 560 msec.
From what I’ve been reading
https://www.grc.com/sn/sn-345.htm
this long delay is probably due to the router on my dsl provider’s end or beyond, but I wanted to be sure there is nothing in the Mikrotik setup that could be contributing to this.
Look under queue. Find your queues for each interface and any simple queues or queue trees you have set up.
All of the default queues on mikrotik are really small. 50 packets or less.
It’s likely not on your mikrotik side but on the dsl providers side.
Good to find another SN listener.
I only have the default queues, I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t missing some other setting that could affect this.
I tried the test with 2 RB133s and a 750. My ISP says they can’t do anything, which might be a case of they won’t bother to try to do anything because someone might have to stop and think about the problem rather than blame the internet, or client, or George Bush.
Did you run the test? Mind telling me your uplink time?
I did run the test, and I had 56 ms buffer space.
Even if someone at the ISP wanted to do something about it, it could completely be outside of their control if it’s a router not on their network. I’m sure they just don’t care if it’s a large ISP. Your service works and if some tool gives some weird metric why should they bother.
My ISP uses AT+T lines, and we all know how much they care.
Thanks for running the test.
