Anyone actually have gaming prioritization working?
Has anyone actually got this working?
I play Battlefield 1 = I get no latency or jitter warnings.
I watch Netflix or YouTube on the same machine = I get some warnings.
I enable Anti-Bufferbloat...

Hi there - could you follow this guide please to get QoS setup optimally: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/articles/16000077073-dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-qos
Let us know if you're still not seeing an improvement after that. BF1 is not currently recognised automatically, so I recommend you manually add the ports to Traffic Prioritisation.
If you need help with that, please let us know.

I did do all that (as I explained in my posts).
I tried with all set (anti-bufferbloat, gaming PC with majority bandwidth allocated, and specific TCP and UDP ports and ranges prioritised).
I tried with various combinations being on/off and with different amounts in bufferbloat and bandwidth allocation.
Nothing fixed the issue.
Netflix on = pulses of latency increase.
Netflix off = steady low latency.
Even tried running netflix on another PC on the network and on my phone. Using the phone app the pulses were less frequent, but still there.
- Netduma-FraserMar 19, 2019NetDuma PartnerCould you explain the physical setup you have please? E.g. ISP hub (modem mode) > XR700 (all devices) etc. Do you use IPv6 or PPPoE?
What are the ports you have added to Traffic Prioritization?
Have you entered your correct bandwidth into Anti-Bufferbloat's options? Also just confirm you haven't disabled it fully there.- disposalistMar 19, 2019Aspirant
Plusnet VDSL > Netgear DM200 in modem only mode > XR700 > gaming PC
Battlefield 1 ports added to prioritsation (as several rules): -
TCP: 5222, 9988, 17502, 20000-20100, 22990, 42127
UDP: 3659, 14000-14016, 22990-23006, 25200-25300
Corrent bandwidth entered, yes. My line is rated 80/20 but I entered 69/17 which was what was reported by DSLReports speedcheck.
I tried all three bufferbloat settings Always/When Priority/Never. Same result each time.
- Netduma-FraserMar 19, 2019NetDuma PartnerThanks for the info. When streaming Netflix do you notice high priority packets for download updating rapidly?
