Re: Giving priority to MJ traffic (QoS, Tomato Firmware)

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.

You might try DD-WRT which uses TCP Vegas (discussed earlier in this thread). 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).

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).

FYI. 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:

"TCP Vegas (TCP congestion control) added (enable in QOS:Settings), thanks to Rodney H. (see his writeup here for more information)."
