RV042 bandwidth management issues

[osimon]

I am trying to set up my router to grant http traffic a minimum banwidth of - for example - 5,000 kBit (if there is any http traffic).

So I set http min. rate to 5,000 while I set nntp min. rate to 1 (see enclosed screen shot)

However, when I run nntp downloads on several connections (e.g. 10) my single http download never goes above 1,000 kBit. Without any other connections I reach 8,000 kBit.

Btw. I am using a single 12 MBit line.

What is wrong?

Thank you for your help!

Can you confirm you numbers? are they Kb or KB? the rule that was created for NNTP would allow low side of 1Kbps to max of 12,288Kbps or 1536 KBps = 1.5MBps or 12.288mbps. If no other traffic is flowing it would allow the NNTP up to the max setting.

Kb = kilobits

KB = kilobytes

mb= megabits

MB = megabytes

Randy,

In the router's config everything has to be endered in Kbps (Kbit/sec) so I guess my numbers are correct ... but please have a look at the attached screenshot.

Yes, if there is no other traffic, nntp is supposed to be able to use the full bandwidth.

Any chance to get a reply from Cisco?

I upgraded to the latest firmware - v4.0.4.02-tm (Jul 4 2011 13:30:56) -  but no change.

I am looking at your setting and it seems that the router is functioning properly. It has a lot of other factors that you are not thinking about also. If you do a speed test what are the speeds that you are getting? If you move the router out of place and do the same time what are the down load speeds that you are getting?

Also I see that when you have only the single one downloading you want to get the speed for the max bandwidth that you have selected. If you down load this same file with the router not in place do you get the same out come? If it is different how much difference are you getting? Most of the time if your max download speed is 10 to 12 Meg, you will get roughly a third of that when downloading files. You must depend on the device at the other end also.

What were you getting before you created any of these rules?

Thanks
