XR1000 - Bufferbloat - False negative?
Hello all, I have been running the XR1000 for the past week. Enoutnered a few bugs/issues, but real reason here is to query others on their bufferloat (DSL reports) experience. I am seeing a degrad...
I wouldn't really give much credence to DSLReports to be honest. That is why we added Connection Benchmark, I would recommend you try different CC settings to get the Ping Under Load test results down as much as possible and then it should be as optimized as possible. We have had that suggestion before so likely we will add it in the future.
Thanks for response. Having not had much run time on the unit it is hard to assess actual performance in the real world, hence my post. The results though being so destinctly and repeatably different raised doubts and questions. At this point I will trust the internal benchmark (which is really nice added feature) and move forward :)
Connection benchmark gives me A+ / A / A+. Being on a copper cable setup this seems decent. I have noticed ping rdeviates little bit based on an upload or download. When CBenchmark runs thrid test I see results like idle=25ms, upload =28ms, download=22ms... minimal jitter variations. Download is always reporting lower than idle.
- Glad you like the feature! Those results seem really good so give them a try via game and see how you get on!
