So I’ve been messing with QoS for a few months now, trying to fine tune it. I’ve had the most success with configuring one strict priority queue, and using “bandwidth remaining percent” on the other queues.
In that setup I’ll usually have zero drops on the priority queue, zero drops on a business critical queue, 0.001% drops on a interactive queue, and like 0.01% drops on best effort.
Stats are averaged over a 7 day period.
I tried using different combos of the nerd knob configs trying to eliminate the interactive drops too so only Best had drops. All my attempts usually made things worse causing drops to creep into the other queues. “Queue Buffer Ratio” especially made things worse.
By far my best results we’re leaving stuff bare bones basic stupid simple.
I think the biggest problem was probably not fully understanding what exactly the commands did, causing my trial and error to be more like error and error.
Is QoS one of those lost arts that no one really tunes? Or am I just bad?
