Traffic shaper question

<< < (2/2)

FrenchFries:
I am not sure you are really looking for buffer-bloat, which is maximizing downloading/uploading speed and minimize buffer.  Buffer is an issue when traffic is faster than computing speed or your firewall is slow and cannot cope with data and buffers. Reducing cache can improve performance.

The documents you are quoting are about traffic shaping, i.e, "limiting traffic" to gain quality.

Here are some resources (Linux):

You can also have a look at LEDE, which implemented a dedicated buffer analysis application and then uses traffic shaping.

With LEDE, I could reach 98% max speed on my fiber line, with OPNSense, only 94%, but it does not matter to me guiven the quality of FreeBSD and OPNsense.
