Ever since I switched my Linksys router to OpenWRT (you may have noticed that I like to flash it a lot) I’ve been unhappy with the QoS implementation on it. It’s supposed to work out of the box, and while it does a great job for my SIP/VoIP connections, it fails utterly for everything else (if I don’t explicitly put a service into the ‘Express’ category, the second highest available, I get horrible throughput). Lacking documentation about what the specific settings do, I gave up on trying to customize it and dropped it in favour of another one (now based on HFSC, I don’t even know what the old one used) and hope that it will work out better. I’m still playing around with the options and testing stuff though so it is really too early to tell.
So, that’s the boring news for today. Oh and yeah, I forgot to blog about it but I DID visit the WWCL Finals in Dortmund with gamer-FM, you can see the photos that got shot there here and here.
