    Sonos devices and apps used uPnP. The router was not involved.

    Got that one as well a bunch of time with 2 fake dutch inventors. Reported it, got denied because Youtube thinks it's fine to promote a scam like that.

    It can also be read as 1/3 are walking: > The remaining 1/3 are those who live close enough to the primary school that they are more likely to walk.

    Didn't that halve the cursor speed as well?

    Steam downloads are plain HTTP in separate file chunks. Easy to cache and load balance across connections.

    1000/200 per segment of course. So in a typical HFC network that can be shared between 40-400 homes.

    SQM with Cake is a life saver in any kind of network with bufferbloat. The per-host/IP fairness is the cherry on top.

    My cable modem is in bridge but I can also reach its web interface the management IP. In that case, you should find out if the modem is vulnerable because an exploited modem could …

    Geekbench just lists the stock speeds for the chip, not the actual speeds used for the benchmark.

    For over 10 years I've been running a semi-public Mumble server. It's pretty much zero effort, low CPU and low bandwidth usage. These days mainly just as a backup for when Discord …

    For web traffic, yes, it's a solution. But if you deal with gameserver traffic like me, Cloudflare can't save you. OVH's anti-DDoS (GAME variant) is quite good in my experience for…

    That's very interesting, that just made me realize my x299 ITX board has the exact same issue with CSM while trying to boot into OS/X (so also BSD-ish, but hackintosh). So a good c…

    I recently encountered a bug in an Asrock UEFI (CPU power limits ignored in the X299 ITX motherboard) and contacted Asrock about it. Got a fixed version emailed to me within a coup…

    Smart queue (fq_codel + htb) does not do per-host fairness, only per flow fairness. So a single host on the LAN can still hog all the bandwidth.

    Just enable smart queue QoS in the web interface. The ER-X should be able to handle links up to about 150-180Mbit with Smart Queue QoS enabled.

    Just enable smart queue QoS in the web interface. The ER 6P should be able to handle links up to about 300Mbit with Smart Queue QoS enabled.

    You're one of the lucky ones with an ISP with properly configured buffers. A+ is the goal on that test though, which basically means no extra latency under load.

    Comment #17448981

    I love the ER-X because it's cheap, generally available and a fine router with SQM. Just keep in mind that with smart queue enabled it will top out at about 150-170Mbit. If you're …

    Why would you have to choose either? fq_codel and cake use a tiny bit of packet loss to get a sending host to back off, for example to keep a large download flow within the limits …

    An awful lot of home broadband connections suffer from bufferbloat and even for the ones that don't, a single host can easily hog all the bandwidth. If you're used to getting lag i…

    They provide the GPL sources and SDK to build the entire kernel or just custom modules. 3.10.x kernel, but still.
