My link is 50mbps down and 1mbps up. I’m trying to set up QoS to prevent one fellow downloader to make others suffer - he does up to 30mbps from rapidshare, and I have to keep VoIP working, and browsing from other machines at reasonable speeds.
What would you recommend - PCQ? Then what limits should I set, I’m a bit confused as with common recipes for QoS here we’re limiting rarely saturated 50mbps downstream, while what really bottlenecks is 1mbps upstream.
Please help.
First limit and prioritize upload (http,voip,p2p) there are many topics(forum and wiki) about how to do that. And yes for download try pcq.
Well, I was trying to ask how to determine limit-at and max-limit.
There are many examples indeed, all have some specific numbers with no much info on how to adjust them for my LAN
There’s no magic formula. Before you get into the mess of identifying and classifying traffic start with single upload queue with pcq, classify traffic by client IP (src IP) don’t set limit-at and set max limit to 10% less than max-upload-speed.
Is 1 Mbit up even enough for the checksum rate for 50 Mbit Down?
My ISP has a 100 Down, and 5 Mbit up. Essentially at that speed the check sum values sent up will use pretty much 5 Mbit. So what is the point of a fast connection if you are limited by the up speed?
hmm cable down 100 Mbit, 5 Up on DOCSIS 3 for 150 Cnd a month… I might upgrade…
It probably is the right proportion, when I saw 48mbps down the up was about 980kbps
