Generally, upstream QoS only affects downstream inasmuch as freeing up upstream will increase downstream throughput if downstream was limited due to the inability to send ACKs.

Keep in mind that your upstream QoS cap should be at *MOST* 90% of your actual upstream; I've found 85% works much better. Yes, this will reduce your maximum possible upstream, but it also reserves some space for ACK packets and other such things that will keep your connection running smoothly.
I have it just under 80%, and my Q.o.S runs smoothly.

maybe I could bump it up a bit though. Im the only one really doing any sort of real usage on our LAN right now.

EDIT: now I remember why I did that originally, I had a roomate living here months ago who used skype and would constantly complain, so I gave him some priority for it, but regardless he complained because he had other issues aswell he would not want to listen to :P

So i support I could bump it up a bit now. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tomato-firmware-and-QoS-Possible-bug-22784327 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 14:02:36 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tomato-firmware-and-QoS-Possible-bug-22783859

Just to be sure...you are reading 'outbound' as uplink and 'inbound' as downlink right?

I've never had a problem. For a while I wondered my upload was never higher than 600k on speed tests until I remembered that I'd limited it in Tomato.
Correct.. Outbound as uplink and inbound as downlink.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tomato-firmware-and-QoS-Possible-bug-22783470 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 11:39:34 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Tomato-QoS-Explained-22783400

I'm maybe expecting too much for consumer equipment. I was just thinking if it's told to only slow upstream, it should realistically not effect downstream too much.. In testing, I put bittorrent at a max of 6kbps for upstream limits.. in turn it slowed downstream to 6 as well, even though in tomato it's set not to touch downstream.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tomato-firmware-and-QoS-Possible-bug-22782628 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 08:44:55 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tomato-firmware-and-QoS-Possible-bug-22781948 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tomato-firmware-and-QoS-Possible-bug-22781948 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 01:30:17 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tomato-firmware-and-QoS-Possible-bug-22782008 design purpose of QoS to control DS traffic by limiting US rates.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tomato-firmware-and-QoS-Possible-bug-22782008 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 01:27:02 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tomato-firmware-and-QoS-Possible-bug-22781875 said by koreyb:

I have bittorrent apps on the lowest possible setting for uplink only.

I find that when I adjust the uplink setting, it seems to effect the downlink speed as well. QoS does the same thing as throttling: if you queue more traffic than the router can buffer, it starts dropping them and when TCP detects lost packets in either direction, it starts throttling back to reduce the number of in-flight packets between ACKs.

If you want to avoid QoS interfering with your torrents under normal circumstances, you have to make sure your BT app's upload cap is set to be slightly less than your router's QoS so QoS will not start interfering with BT traffic until you start using higher-priority protocols.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tomato-firmware-and-QoS-Possible-bug-22781875 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 00:30:01 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tomato-firmware-and-QoS-Possible-bug-22781653
It wouldn't have that option if that wasn't the case..

If it's a known bug.. that's fine.. just wondering that's all..

Downlink it is turned off, but I have tried making them all 100%

I find that when I adjust the uplink setting, it seems to effect the downlink speed as well.

Is this normal? or just a bug in the firmware that needs fixed?

I really only need to limit uplink, as 640kbps(REAL) doesn't go far when you use VoIP, and some other time sensitive apps.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Tomato-firmware-and-QoS-Possible-bug-22781486 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 22:47:05 EDT
