.Hello @all!
So I have asked in the past a few questions about QoS, but I had a more complicated setup with two WANs and additionally the second was a bonding between an ADSL line and a 4G+ sim card, which was nor really steady regarding the bandwidth
Time went by and I finally have a decent FTTH connection (500/50)
Now the never-ending question: When I perform a speedtest I get a result of 508 down / 53 up
What I want is to limit my whole network to 495 down/ 49 up
I went to system services and created a Traffic shaping rule as follows
Then in Firewall rules I created a top firewall rule and set as source zone my LANs/VLANs and Destination zones WAN.
In this rule I set Shape Traffic to the traffic shaping rule above
I run a command line speedtest from a linux machine and this is what I get
Speedtest by Ookla
Server: LANCOM LTD - Athens (id: 12031)
ISP: FORTHnet SA
Idle Latency: 2.97 ms (jitter: 0.34ms, low: 2.83ms, high: 4.02ms)
Download: 292.54 Mbps (data used: 251.7 MB)
6.49 ms (jitter: 1.77ms, low: 3.61ms, high: 14.59ms)
Upload: 46.91 Mbps (data used: 21.8 MB)
3.09 ms (jitter: 0.31ms, low: 2.55ms, high: 4.53ms)
Packet Loss: 0.0%
Upload Speed is not exactly what I want but I don't mind.
But download speed is a far cry from 495Mbps
Funny thing is that if I change the download limit from 62000 to say, 70000, I get the exact speed from speedtest
Now I turn off the firewall rule and immediately run another speedtest
Speedtest by Ookla
Server: HYPERHOSTING - Athens (id: 5377)
ISP: FORTHnet SA
Idle Latency: 2.40 ms (jitter: 0.55ms, low: 1.71ms, high: 3.14ms)
Download: 408.47 Mbps (data used: 490.1 MB)
30.79 ms (jitter: 1.59ms, low: 3.77ms, high: 40.38ms)
Upload: 51.28 Mbps (data used: 23.9 MB)
44.51 ms (jitter: 8.94ms, low: 11.40ms, high: 301.76ms)
Packet Loss: 0.0%
My kids are downloading something from PS4 at the moment so not the full 500Mbps speed but still..
I have created another traffic shaping rule with the exact same numbers but this time instead of individual I set it to shared.
I get the exact same results: Setting download bandwidth to 62000 I get a speed of 300. Changing again to 70000 I get no increase.
Disabling the rule gets me back to 400+
Can someone explain what is going on?
