I'm guessing you're on FTTP, so no copper and no CRCs/G.INP/Interleaving?

Quote from: lf2k what's your latency when pinging 8.8.8.8?
--- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 10 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 4.385/4.578/4.764/0.126 ms
Yeah FTTP, so no interleaving/CRCs/G.INP/copper.
I've read that PPPoE at higher speeds is very CPU intensive so you need a decent, up-to-date router.

That's very respectable (OK, I'm officially jealous!), but roughly where are you (guess South East near London)?
Three questions then:
- Do you mind the 1-2Mbps you lose off your downstream because of the QoS?
- What router are you using, since I'm guessing you're also using PPPoE despite being on FTTP?
- Assuming you're on plusnet (since you're commenting on a QoS thread), which package are you on?
Soz for being nosey...

Milton Keynes - my exchange is also a core node (Bradwell Abbey), which probably also has some baring on things.

- I don't mind or notice at all.
- Asus DSL-N66U with the Openreach supplied Huawei ONT (HG8240), but will upgrade the router in the not too distant future.
- I'm on fibre unlimited. There are quite a few of us on the FTTP "trial".

That said, Plusnet are a bit different; they always provision 80/20 then shape it down to 40 down (if that's what you're paying for).
I'd be a very happy bunny if I could buy a link like Andy's... (Sadly, not available in my part of Norfolk)

Quote from: AndyH The frame sized used by the ISP makes a difference also:
I don't think frame size is an ISP thing - the variation of throughput for smaller packets is just revealing the fixed part of the per packet overhead.

Quote The downstream rate achieved on the service will include a small element of bandwidth used to support traffic management. The bandwidth utilised for traffic management will vary according to the frame size used by the CP for transmitting IP packets.

The WBC FTTC handbook is publicly available, probably by accident.

"the frame size used by the CP for transmitting IP packets" may not mean there is a setting somewhere that the ISP uses - it could just be a confusing way of saying it depends on frame size - it seems strange to show as low as 64 bytes if it is a setting. Saying that though the figures/rates given seem hard to reconcile with those in SIN 498 and I notice that the BTW doc says IP frame size and goes up to 1522 - it may really be possible, but it's a coincidence that 1522 is the "user side" ethernet frame size of pppoe + mini jumbos, which I use, so I know they work.
I know the doc mentions "proper" QOS elsewhere - but that could be a different (chargeable like it was on ADSL?) thing.
As always I don't know the real situation - just speculating.

Quote GEA-FTTC is delivered on a single Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN), via a 1Gbit/s connection from a Layer 2 Ethernet switch at the Point of Handover (PoH), through a DSLAM located near the local cabinet, to your end customer’s premises.
All traffic on the GEA Cablelink will be presented using single tagging or double tagging on a per VLAN basis. Both options can be used on the same GEA Cablelink on a per GEA order basis. The tagging option to use for a specific GEA order is explicitly selected by you when ordering GEA.
The VLAN used for your customers (End User) traffic is referred to as a “CVLAN”. You may optionally choose to use an additional level of tagging so that CVLANs can be grouped within another VLAN, referred to as an “SVLAN”
Single Tagged Handover - The Outer VLAN is the CVLAN.
Double Tagged Handover - The Outer VLAN is the SVLAN, and the Inner VLAN is the CVLAN
3.3 Traffic shaping
Downstream
You should shape traffic on your handover equipment to ensure that it doesn’t exceed the capacity of the product. You can do this using priority markings at the handover port. The following markings are available:
• 802.1p = 3, 2, 1 – should not drop
• 802.1p = 0 – can drop
Please note that:
• Unmarked traffic will be treated as can drop
• Values 4, 5, 6 & 7 are unsupported and would be remarked to 3. This will ensure that congested traffic is discarded based on its marking
• Markings are also used to schedule traffic from the Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) to the Network Terminating Equipment (NTE).
Upstream
Upstream traffic ignores any .1p markings. Where an SVLAN exists, we police the link up to product capacity. There’s no buffering of packets. Where no SVLAN exists, we shape the traffic up to product capacity. Once again, there’s no buffering of packets.
