Upload Application Management Active

[Ignitionnet]

Anyone noticed any impact from the new application management which is active as of this evening?

Separating this from the general thread as it's specific to the newer upstream management rather than the increased uploads or long running downstream management.

[Chrysalis]

no difference.

if VM still have areas with 1000+ms latency and jitter in the 100s with this active they are going to be very embarrassed.

what does the new management do? protocol shaping in addition to throttling overall traffic once a limit has been reached (stm)?

what does the new management do? protocol shaping in addition to throttling overall traffic once a limit has been reached (stm)?It does exactly the same as the downstream application management for P2P and Newsgroups that has been live since November, but for upstream

[Chrysalis]

is basically traffic shaping, ignition gave it a fancy name :)

p2p shaping on upstream. Doesnt matter how much you used it always be on during specified hours.

Don't notice any difference here, remote desktop still just as (un)snappy as before, TB ping graph seems to be not much different, up/down speedtests just as lame as usual. Jitter as crap as always. I don't P2P so I can't say much about that. Actually feels a little slower than it has been for the past few weeks on average.

you still on 50meg right? looks like a 30meg speedtest :p

[qasdfdsaq]

Heh, yeah. Still on 50mb with standalone modem. Only reason I haven't downgraded to 30mb is the lack of STM, otherwise I wouldn't see much speed difference :P

Well so far the feedback over on the Community Forum is generally positive

[Ignitionnet]

Could you give a link to the feedback from this evening please Ben?

Seems to be working as expected and to have helped a few people out. So long as it's not used in lieu of capacity upgrades all good.

Heh, yeah. Still on 50mb with standalone modem.

AKA One Of The Lucky Ones. :p:

yeah, my area is no longer mega congested so this trial came too late for that. But is still some minor congestion which this had no affect on. Good news that its helped some people tho.

[Welshchris]

i did notice that when using a download manager on HTTP i couldnt get above 180kb/s for some reason on upload which slowed my downloads down.

Yet without upload manager i was getting around 1.2mb/s upload on downloads.

dont know if its anything to do with it or not.

[Chrysalis]

I suspect this isnt every area, I see mixed response's on VM's forums, some with decent improvements, others with no affect.

I have access to 6 VM graphs.

Mine has some congestion but very little now, its had no affect.
Another cant really check for it as is almost perfect anyway.
The other 4 all have congestion and 3 of them severe, and they have had no affect.

So either these areas have upstream congestion from non p2p traffic or the trial isnt in every area.

I would love to see a tbb graph from an improved connection, I suspect latency takes a nosedive at 5pm and jumps up again at midnight (it finishes too early as peak really finishes around 2am).

my latency improves from 5pm to midnight

my ping on quakelive is terrible, 80-130, double what it used to be

nvm fixed it, it was nod32s http checking
