How can I make my ping not effected from other things using the internet. I know my friend can have both his parents on Netflix and his ping doesn't move while mine will spike up to 500 and over. Thanks!!

you can shape very slow internet very well.
it's the high/low that messes up qos.
on dslreports you can run a test and see quality.
it doesn't need to be A+ but if its +/- 30+% qos won't work well. if it looks like a sin wave it's not good.
you don't want bursting. burst queues up packs and repacks them to reduce overhead. it's a trade of latency for very little bandwidth.

the way video/audio tcp streams work is they start/stop as needed. if the data is downloaded before the tcp stream builds to your max it won't cause any bufferbloat. with a lot of bandwidth and no AQM you won't get bufferbloat.

fq_codel is the only effective qdisc that's available. default configs work well for most people. it's very difficult to tune. with the...

By slow internet you mean slow upload/download?

fq_codel is the only effective qdisc that's available. default configs work well for most people. it's very difficult to tune. with the default config gaming will work fine. video streaming + max downloading can be tricky.

fq_codel is available on edgerouter X for $50 upto 100Mbs, ddwrt, openwrt, and ipfire. flashed routers will be hit or miss on speed. ipfire can handle multigig.

solution: log into netflix on a PC

chose parents netflix profile
goto account, scroll to bottom
limit video quality to medium or low.
save.

repeat for any other profile on account that is watching netflix when you are playing.

happy gaming my friend


imo QoS does not work, the issue is with requesting, just restricting a programs downstream will result in said program flooding upstream to request data faster, resulting in 'input' lag. netflix has understood this poorly understood system and made their service self restricting. thumbs up for the netflix internet master who was responsible for that decision.

QOS should manage upload as well as download.

qos can let you stream using near your max bandwidth and have low latency on a separate program. dropping tcp packets doesn't flood your upstream. this is part of tcp's flow control.

In the link this person has two tests, one with and one without. swamping the down and up with multiple tcp flows and measuring udp and icmp latency. They went from 275ms to 17ms(+5ms over norm) avg. 58Mbs avg to 50Mbs(87%) avg. trading 13% of their bandwidth for usable latency.
