Re: Giving priority to MJ traffic (QoS, Tomato Firmware)
said by teddy_bear  :What's interesting is that when QoS is activated on Tomato, the download speed is always capped at 3900 - no matter what downlink speed I specify in the settings. I can set it to 1, 4000, 7000 or 100000 - it's still capped at 3900 as long as QoS is enabled  ... This idea comes from »en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Tomato_Fir···guration . I've never cleared NVRAM on my router. I don't know if there's any risk of bricking your router.
If I were having your trouble I would go into Tomato's Administration->Configuration->Restore Default Configuration-> Erase all data in NVRAM memory.
Maybe power off/on after that's complete. Then reconfigure Tomato, but be sure not to change any inbound settings on the "basic settings" page except the max inbound limit. (I.e., leave everything below the inbound limit set to "none"). And, don't change anything in the "classifications" page.
If that doesn't work, you should post to that Tomato forum I mentioned earlier.

| I am on a cable connection with powerboost (8/2, boosts to about 20/4). There is a trade-off between setting QOS and putting MJ traffic as the first priority and not setting QOS and achieving my full Internet speed. I chose the latter. My connection is fast enough that MJ shouldn't be interrupted at all unless I happen to be torrenting or something at the time. |

I wasn't impressed when I tried it (compared to ordinary QoS with Tomato). But, my speed is 1.5/.5. Maybe it would do better on a faster connection than no QoS (or limiting your powerboost using ordinary QoS with fixed, slower speeds representing your average speed).

Mark I am not crazy about DD-WRT -- the developer is trying to commercialize it and make money on the back of GPL'ed code. There's nothing wrong with that IF the GPL license is adhered to. But, as many on various forums have pointed out, he seems to want to control where DD-WRT can be used (i.e., he only wants it used at home, which might violate the GPL). |

There is now an unofficial (modded) version of Tomato 1.22 with TCP Vegas. Just announced here:

| 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)."
