Um, I wasn't sure if I should mention it, because it doesn't seem like it should be able to cause these kinds of issues. But, if you're using steam *on linux*, there's a known bug where it makes hundreds (thousands?) of DNS queries per second, during downloads, which can cause issues if the DNS server on your router starts throttling. I don't know how or if that should affect the apparent performance of cake in different tests. But the workaround is to have a local DNS cache like dnsmasq on your host (and of course it's not an issue on Windows machines).
Interesting, I didn't know that, I did the pcap from my Linux router box, steam it's self was running on Windows. Judging by the use of hrping earlier I assume Dendari is also running windows. I am 99.9% booted into Linux on my desktop - but it's pure 64bit LFS and I am far too lazy to build a multilib LFS just for steam :-) _______________________________________________ Cake mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/cake
