Hi all,
So I have some questions around traffic shaping and I'm hoping that the wealth of knowledge in this forum will help me:
1) When using FQ_codel, and setting a pipe bandwidth value, the actual speed gained through speed testing is often lower than the value set - why is that, and is there a way of knowing how much speed you're likely to get?
2) Does traffic shaping have any effect if you are not saturating your connection, either up or down?
3) Is there a recommended shaper to use that will 'use' less bandwidth overhead?
My wan connection is 900/110 fibre PPPoE.
I have a relatively busy home network, but don't do too much in terms of gaming - one Xbox series X and a Nintendo switch. We mainly stream video/ movies and WFH.
I have set up shaping, and can get an A+ bufferbloat result, although I'm not sure what this realistically means to me in real life usage.
All the guides I have seen don't seem to address the questions I raise above.
Hi, anyone got any ideas? Cheers :)
