Limit TCP connections to 100...
obvious effect is good ping times, but hardly opening webpages (browsing). we tested it before at 120 connections, but because the effect above i removed all filters anywhere...
can you share a "good" number of connections to filter - good QoS on the one hand and good browsing on the other
I'm managing QoS and p2p for a local cable company, all of theirs is limited to 200 connections per client. The only issue I have with it is the support company managing the cable modems use 100 connections or so per cable modem.
The odd thing is using DD-WRT for my personal router, I've seen 25-50 active connections with several of us on the net at the same time. I'm having a hard time seeing 100 as a limit per CPE causing a problem. Linksys routers tend to choke if you hit near the 200 mark, so I'm thinking if the consumer level routers can't do more than 200 reliably, there's not much need to support more than that as a general rule. Of course, there are exceptions.
I have other problem, I get great delay even on lan but when I unplug the antennas the ping is getting to normal <1ms. I mention that the traffic is <700Kbps and the number of packets is <100 maybe 50. Please help
I wonder if you don't have a bad card, wireless or ethernet, somewhere in the system. It is possible you have a compatibility issue with a CPE or just network chatter. Are you running 802.11b or 802.11g? Channel bandwidth?
When I worked for the school system, I had several bad NIC's chatter and cause network problems, but that was before wireless days. I've not had to replace a lot of wireless cards aside from total failures, so I can't really say whether they chatter like some ethernet cards after taking a surge.
