Re: [Equipment] My solution for in QOS for VOIP said by jgwilliams:
When you had the bandwidth management in place what was your actual upload / download speeds?
With the full stream upload:
2004-01-18 03:17:54 EST: 2179 / 167
Your download speed : 2179675 bps, or 2179 kbps.
A 266 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 167294 bps, or 167 kbps.
Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!
Without any activity:
2004-01-18 03:20:15 EST: 2949 / 222
Your download speed : 2949854 bps, or 2949 kbps.
A 360 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 222593 bps, or 222 kbps.
Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!

Also is this dynamic? When I say that what I mean is do you have access to all of your bandwidth, or nearly all of it until you get on the phone, then the throttling begins?
Yes... the program I use to post shows the all of the upstream being used and it looks like the it backs off a little when the phone is being used.
I can tell a big difference with browsing too...usually my browsing would be laggy when uploading but now I don't hardly notice it.
I'm going to do some more test tomorrow with NTP set at low priority and FTP not set as low. Going to see what happens... the ultimate test will be running an upload and let the girlfriend use the phone..or like some of you call it the "wife test". |

Chesterland, OH | SetiSpcock, you were in Cleveland? That is where we are located. Where are you from? Do you visit Cleveland often?
Digiblur, I have a BEFSR81 and have had problems with the device not responding some times. This has nothing to do with VoIP it locks up just browsing.
In any event, will this firmware you are speaking of work on my device as well? Can you tell me where to obtain it?

| Jgwilliams,
Yes I was in Cleveland most of December and even enjoyed the few surprisingly warm days! Before this visit I used to live & work in Cleveland, or rather, I used to live in Mayfield Heights and Work in Warrensville Heights. I moved to India in August '03. I know you're based in Cleveland which is one of the reasons I've been following BVD ever since you started posting in these forums. I even considered signing up for your service with the beta launch but missed it. I was seriously considering dropping in to your office in person to sign up instead. My next visit will probably be in 6 months time.
The WRT54G runs Linux as the embedded firmware. Being GPL, Linksys had to release the source code which others have modified to add features. Unfortunately the BEFSR81 uses a proprietary, closed source, firmware so it's not possible to do the same. Like I mentioned in this thread I have the same router. I've also started to notice the same problem that you have, slowing down of net connection which rebooting solves.

Chesterland, OH | I lived in Mayfield Hts for a few years when I got married, 14 years ago. I live in Chesterland now, just past Gates Mills.
You are welcome to stop in and visit, we can show you around. You would not be able to sign up in the office however, there is no one to take an order, and the call center people, spread across a couple of offices can not leave the call queue.
I am going to see if I can get a WRT54G today, I have downloaded this custom firmware and I am very interested in checking it out.

Rats! I just bought a BEFSR81 yesterday. I haven't seen the slowdown problem yet. This never happened with my BEFSR41.
How does it work otherwise for giving priority to your VoIP traffic? |
