<font face="Arial">I've installed and configured the SQM QOS module
for my Bleeding Edge, r43718 access point. The access point runs
on the sunxi A20 processor with 1 Ethernet and 1 USB powered Wifi
adapter. A 5 port switch with VLAN 802.1q support is connected
to the 1 Ethernet port to give the access point extra wired
network ports.<br>
<br>
I was looking for configuration documentation for this module that
would guide the basic configuration options. The module has
advanced options too, but I assume that they are for specific
setups to get the extra bit of performance. Particular
documentation for what interface to enable the SQM QOS for? (Wifi?
Ethernet connected to the WAN?) Will this still work if the
broadband provider equipment is not in bridge mode? <br>
<br>
Lastly for the Download speeds and Upload speeds what is the
recommended way to calculate the values to enter? 90% of DSL
connection speed? Or 95% of real observed/tested speeds(like
tested with iperf)?<br>
<br>
My initial test results indicate that the QOS does work, not sure
how well. My test case was a huge upload over about 4 hours, most
likely over https. The DSL upload speed is 1Mbps, download 9Mbps.<br>
First test case - QOS disabled. Other devices were unable to
connect websites or pickup pop mail. Server not found and server
not available messages.<br>
Second - QOS enabled on WAN port egress speed set at 700kbps -
Other devices were able to connect with out issue. Network
traffic monitoring shows that the upload was being limited to 700
kbps.<br>
Third test - QOS enabled on WAN port with egress speed set at
850kbps - Other devices were able to connect most of the time, but
periodically they would receive a </font><font face="Arial">Server
not found and server not available message.<br>
<br>
Is this the best way to configure the SQM module? These results expected?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
