Hi,
After reading the following topic about how-to setup a Shaper to get rid of bufferbloat: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/shaper_bufferbloat.html#quantum
Regarding the correct value for "Quantum" its stated:
However, while this might sound clear. This is still too ambiguous for me.
I have fiber connection from my ISP using PPPoE, which is 1500 bytes.
However PPPoE has a connection overhead of 8 Bytes, so the WAN interface with VLAN 6 tag has a MTU of 1508.
So I have set 1508 MTU on my WAN interface (Identifier: opt1, device: ppoe0).
But that is not all, I also have a 'WAN RAW' interface configured as well (Identifier: opt6, device: ax0). Which has the overhead of the VLAN of 4 bytes, meaning that MTU setting is 1512.
Meaning "WAN MTU" term is too ambiguous for me. So what value should I use now for quantum; 1500, 1508 or 1512?
I guess 1512 in my case. Right or not? This could be written more clearly.
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Melroy van den Berg
