Re: Packet Loss and High Latency under load

Hi Townman,

 

The TBBQM looks noisy to me, as I expected based on the pfsense logs, but I have an untrained eye with these things.  They do seem to be tracking pretty closely, but pfsense shows the pings failing from 8:30 until about 9:30

 

It'll be interesting to see what happens this evening on this one when we're at home and the networks busy.

@jackjohnsonuk 

If the link is busy, expect pings to be discarded, they are not priority traffic.

Yes I do mean am.  Just after 8.30am the TBBQM hits 160ms average response time to pings (low priority traffic) whilst something of higher priority is hitting the link very hard.  I do not find Netflix streaming hitting that hard on my link.  The only thing which hits my link hard is cloud storage syncs (back-ups).

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

@Townman Apologies - I missed the TBB link there, was looking at what presume is the pfsense shot actually in the post, but agree the TBB log around the AM slot looks very busy.
