Re: They make no sense. said by Lazlow:insomniac84 Why should one type of traffic receive higher priority than others? I do not VOIP and my neighbor does (we pay the same amount for internet). Why should his data get a higher priority than mine? Protocol agnostic is the only fair way to go. First come, first serve. Well it can be protocol agnostic. I am saying look at sustained rates for specific transfers to specific hosts. VoIp isn't going to try to max out a 15mps connection, while bittorrent or other downloading will. You can leave lower bandwidth stuff alone since it's not a problem. Just throttle stuff that tries to max out the connection back enough to free up the congestion. It's way better to have a torrent drop back a few hundred kbps than it is to screw with stuff that isn't trying to use all possible bandwidth. There is no point in trying to throttle a 50kbps transfer, if another transfer is going 14.95mbps. Just throttle the faster transfer. And we are probably only talking between like 5-7pm, max. If at all.
Just throttle the specific traffic causing the problem, leave everything else alone. |
