QoS for gaming

[Lantis]

Not quite.
1. Don't bother setting a "max bw" for your oming class. It can't go faster than full speed anyway.
2. You need to check that your "default class" is what you'd expect.
Any traffic not caught by a rule will end up in this class
3. Your download rules aren't right. Down traffic is never going to have an internal IP as the source. Those should all be destinations not sources.

This is how my setup is...

2 Classification Rules:
UPLOAD
1st Gaming <your source ports e.g. 3074-3075> proto <udp>
2nd Fast <Maximum Packet Length: 1280 bytes>

3 Service Service Classes:

1st Gaming <BW needed % for your game> <Min> <-needed <Max> <-optional

2nd Fast <BW%> <Min> <-blank <Max> <-blank

3rd Slow <Bw%> <Min> <-blank <Max> <-blank

*Repeat All for Download except use same ports for destination and adjust bandwidth accordingly*

Example Bandwidth figures are 30% Gaming, 35% Fast 35% Slow. It's a borrowing system so percentages are relative, Don't stress on Fast and Slow, just give your game "enough". Games that use the udp protocol don't require tons of bandwidth. COD uses less than 512kb up and down.

try these settings:

root@Gargoyle:/etc/config# cat qos_gargoyle

config upload 'upload'
option default_class 'uclass_2'
option total_bandwidth '5000'

option total_bandwidth '66000'

config upload_class 'uclass_1'

option percent_bandwidth '35'

Not to be mean but it seems you do not understand or read the Wiki. There's a lot to understand if you're going to implement the awesome QoS that is in Gargoyle.

Simply trying to copy paste is like shooting a 1/20 chance of getting the configuration right and you will continue asking questions and burning other people's time unless you know something rather than just guessing...

Someone can tell me off for being wrong but I think this needs to be stated since so many replies have gone into this already.

Agreed.

Gargoyle QoS is awesome, but also misunderstood.

I think we need to fix some topic that could serve as a user guideline, maybe pointing out links to what's already documented (wiki, discussed topics), gathering every kind of related information into one single place.

Maybe that could help those who want to learn more about it, but don't really know where to look.

I've made some improvements to my qos. Using 2 classes prio gets 512Kb or less for download and upload @ 10% and normal get 90%. Remember link sharing here. ACC on.
stab linklayer ethernet overhead 8 mtu 2047 tsize 128 mpu 64
qdisc pie (no other options)
download @ 90% of 50mbit
upload @ 90% of 10mbit
ALL offloads disabled! PM me for script.
