Re: Giving priority to MJ traffic (Qos, Tomato firmware)
said by amigo_boy  :Tomato lets you choose protocols, including RTP (which the port 10000-20000 is carrying). But, I've read that packet inspection adds to the router's CPU load, potentially causing the router to seize up under too much load (like torrents). I did not know it was RTP - added the rule, works great, CPU usage showing still low and no worry about IP changes!
Thanks! |

said by Authority :A safer solution, which i tried and am using, is to give priority to the entire subnet. How do you specify that in Tomato?
And, I really have to ask, why is someone in Beverly Hills using MJ? Has the economy gotten that bad?  (Or, is MJ that good?).

I don't think that wanting to save money or use cool services like MJ suggests financial need do you? Some of the richest people in the world are notoriously cheap... Warren Buffet comes to mind.
I SUGGEST USING RTP - BEST SOLUTION IMHO. |

When I view the QoS graphs, the connection to vms1.{city name}.talk4free.com is falling into the "Lowest" slice of the pie.
I tried a few different permutations. Adding UDP (versus any protocol), a Dest IP address (versus any address), a Dest port range of 10000-20000 (versus any port). It always worked the same. The vms1 connection during a call goes to "lowest."
I made sure the rule was at the top too, so it would catch first.
I reported it to the person who maintains Tomato.

Re: Giving priority to MJ traffic (QoS, Tomato Firmware)
FYI: The "test builds" for a future version of Tomato says TCP Vegas has been added:
»www.polarcloud.com/tomato
"TCP Vegas (TCP congestion control) added (enable in QOS:Settings), thanks to Rodney H. (see his writeup here for more information)."

The L7 QoS stuff is made by someone else... let THEM know: » l7-filter.sourceforge.net/ Thanks. I'll let the author of Tomato pass it up the line. I don't know the ins and outs of whether he uses that, or if he's modified it, etc. They should probably receive a problem report from him after he's verified it. (There's no way I can tell them how I used their software, or how to recreate the problem.).
You said you enabled L7->rtp. Can you verify whether you see the same thing I do?
1. Go into Tomato's admin screen.
2. Go to QoS -> charts
3. Place a call to the special echo number (909 390 0003).
4. Look in the pie chart, and click the "highest" slice of the pie.
5. Click the box for "automatically resolve IP addresses."
6. See if there is a connection in this (highest) slice of the pie for "vms1.{city name}.talk4free.com".
...- The connection should have a destination port in the range of 10000-20000.
...- Don't confuse it with the SIP connection to proxy1.{city name}.talk4free.com going to port 5070.
7. If you don't see it in the "highest" slice, look in "lowest" and "low."
I'm curious if you're experiencing the same thing. If so, I can pass it along to the Tomato author that it's not just me. If you're not experiencing the same thing, maybe you could take a screenshot of your QoS classifications page?
(This discussion should probably take place over at the Tomato forum. »www.linksysinfo.org/forums/showt···?t=60124)
BTW: I need to try your IP address range. I agree that that would be better than specifying an individual proxy and vms1 IP address.

I gave that to the maintainer of Tomato, who put it in a test version. I tested it today and it worked perfectly. That was probably better than expecting the Tomato maintainer to work it out.
