Re: Why is so slow the download speed in OpenBSD?

2018-02-15 Thread Zsolt Kantor 
Ok, in this case, what I understood is that the "optimal rate algorithm" needs 
to be updated, rewritten, corrected . . . etc. I was also a programmer once, 
and I know that this can't happen from one day to another, so as a workaround I 
propose the following: mention about these "issue" in the afterboot manual 
(afterboot - things to check after the first complete boot) . For more about 
afterboot type man afterboot.

It looks like OpenBSD is like driving a beautiful old car. Malfunction doesn't 
make sense to say even though existing properties of the OS and existing 
properties of the world aren't making it easy.

Re: Why is so slow the download speed in OpenBSD?

2018-02-14 Thread Zsolt Kantor 


Now, I just switched to OpenBSD, and executed the commands as you wrote down. 
AND IT WORKS!
You have more in depth network knowledge than me, so I just will write down 
what I did, and I have also some questions related to that media option of the 
ifconfig (which I, to be honest don't really understand).
So, I used the same mirror (https://ftp2.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.2/amd64/) 
for testing and used only wget for downloads. With wget the download speed is a 
bit higher compared to firefox or chromium, I think because wget is more 
'light', command line tool, more optimized (probably the code is more clear), 
firefox and chromium opens slower maybe also bloat in code, so the download 
rate is also less.
Now back to the point. I logged in to Xfce, I opened a terminal with two tabs, 
one for normal user, to execute the downloads, with the following command: 
'wget https://ftp2.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.2/amd64/install62.fs', and one 
for root user to use ifconfig to make those settings. After every ifconfig 
change, I switched to the normal user tab and started the download process 
(sometimes, when I saw some unusual fluctuation I interrupted the download 
process and started again, waited a while to see what happens, than if the 
download process was not stable I waited a little to be just sure, after that 
started the process again and so on, to have a more precise report).
Here are the test results:
OFDM6: max: 1.30MB/s, min: 700KB/s (this config. is not stable, sometimes drops 
from 1.20MB/s to 700KB and back)
OFDM9: average: 1.45MB/s (more stable, do not drops above 1.30MB)
OFDM12: quite stable as with OFDM9, sometimes reaches a max. of 1.70MB/s
OFDM18: stable, average: 1.50MB (I saw also 1.80MB/s for fractions of seconds)
OFDM24: At the first try was not stable, fluctuated between 900KB/s and 
1.70Mb/s, at the second try it was stable, avg: 1.55MB/s (for fractions of 
seconds 1.80MB/s), at the third, fourth . . . tries was stable, avg: 1.60MB
OFDM36: quiet stable, avg: 1.55MB/s
OFDM48: not so stable, 700KB/s, 800KB/s, rarely reaches  1000KB/s (but 
immediately drops)
OFDM54: not stable at all, between 700KB and 900KB (sometimes reaches 1.1MB/s, 
rarely drops down to 300KB/s), the avg. rate is 700-750KB.

These for the tests. Now, I have a few questions. In the ifconfig manual at the 
media option states that if it is used with no arguments displays all available 
media. In my case it looks like this:

supported media:
media autoselect
media autoselect mediaopt monitor
media autoselect mode 11a
media autoselect mode 11a mediaopt monitor
media autoselect mode 11b
media autoselect mode 11b mediaopt monitor
media autoselect mode 11g
media autoselect mode 11g mediaopt monitor

But what you proposed to me to try is OFDM6, 9, 12 . . . In the supported media 
list I don't find those types, why?

The second question is: now theoretically the problem is solved, to be honest I 
have no clue about media types, radio frequencies and such things, but based on 
my tests it's need to be corrected something in OpenBSD related to this issue? 
Or it is more like a user side configuration? If somebody would ask me I think 
the optimal media type should ne automatically selected by the system (driver, 
firmware . . . I don't know who's in charge for this), and not by the user 
(after the system is installed).
That's all, thanks again. For me the problem is solved. You need to decide if 
this is a malfunction or not.

Thanks again.

In order to fix anything we'll need to determine which layer is

I can make a guess, based on my knowledge of how the wifi layer behaves:

The transmit rate used by wpi(4) is selected dynamically by the wifi layer.
The higher the selected transmit rate is the faster your TCP stream will
be because your TCP ACKs will flow faster.

In the current implementation, the wifi layer selects a transmit rate based
on the number of frame transmission retries reported by wpi(4) firmware.

Frame transmission retries at a given transmit rate will happen if either:

1) You are too far away from the AP. A lower rate has more chance
   of getting through so lowering the rate is a good idea.


or:

2) You are close to the AP but there is lots of unrelated wifi traffic
   on the same channel using up air time. Attempts to transmit a frame
   are often blocked by other legitimate frames on the air, so we need
   more than one attempt and all our attempts get counted as retries,
   and now we end up using a lower transmit rate.
   Using a lower rate in this situation means we use up more air time
   and make the problem even worse, not just for us but for everyone
   on this channel.

The access point density in many residential buildings today means that
case 2 is very likely and case 1 is very unlikely, especially on a 2GHz
channel. Adapting the transmit rate based on retries doesn't achieve
the desired result in this situation, so your download speed sucks.

You can test my theory by disabling the automatic rate selection algorithm
and tell wpi(4) to send all frames at a transmit rate of your choice.
To do so, associate to the AP, and now fix the transmit rate as shown below.
Repeat your test each time after changing the transmit rate.

  ifconfig wpi0 media OFDM6 mode 11g
  # repeat test
  ifconfig wpi0 media OFDM9 mode 11g
  # repeat test
  ifconfig wpi0 media OFDM12 mode 11g
  # repeat test
  ifconfig wpi0 media OFDM18 mode 11g
  # repeat test
  ifconfig wpi0 media OFDM24 mode 11g
  # repeat test
  ifconfig wpi0 media OFDM36 mode 11g
  # repeat test
  ifconfig wpi0 media OFDM48 mode 11g
  # repeat test
  ifconfig wpi0 media OFDM54 mode 11g
  # repeat test

If you find that one of these commands makes it work as fast as it does on
Windows, we can conclude that the problem is with OpenBSD's rate selection
algorithm. This algorithm is very old and dates from a time when wifi networks
were much less densly deployed. Windows is probably using a different algorithm
to make decisions about which transmit rate to use (for reference, it probably
uses a similar algorithm as was implemented in Intel's Linux iwlegacy driver,
in file 3945-rs.c of that driver's source code).

Re: Why is so slow the download speed in OpenBSD?

2018-02-13 Thread Zsolt Kantor 
I just made a quick test using the same browser (to not to complicate things 
with wget) firefox (almost the same versions, the ESR release line). Used the 
mirror: https://ftp2.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.2/amd64/
Started to download the file: install62.fs (360MB)
In OpenBSD when the download starts: 11 minutes (remaining), download rate: 
fluctuating between 450-480 KB/sec, sometimes drops to 320-350 KB/sec, and the 
remaining time increases to 14 minutes. I wrote here the units (minutes, KB, 
sec) exactly as appears in the firefox download window.
In Windows using the same mirror and the same file, on the other hand the 
starting download rate is between 1300-1400 KB/sec, and so of course the 
download time is 2-3 minutes.
Just for more info, and to be more precise with the tests I used wget too in 
OpenBSD. Her is the output of wget after the downloading was started for about 
10 seconds:

$ wget https://ftp2.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.2/amd64/install62.fs 
--2018-02-14 00:39:01--

$ 


It is interesting to observe that with wget the download speed is a little bit 
higher, but far to be as high as in Windows.

So if you have any idea, any new testing method, please tell me, I will try. 
But after all those tests as I mentioned above, I really think is an issue with 
the OpenBSD wifi (I'm not a specialist so I can not tell if it is a firmware 
issue, or default configuration issue, but I think it is.) To be honest my 
humbling opinion is that it is a firmware issue, Because I saw once in the 
system message buffer a wpi firmware error (I already mentioned this in an 
earlier message in the same thread, so you can look around, or if you want I 
could find it for you and show it).
And to answer your question more directly as you can see the programs that I 
used to test the speed always used KB/s (in case of wget), or KB/sec (in case 
of firefox). So it is absolutely excluded the term of bits.


Thanks,
Zsolt

It doesn't hurt in this case for wpi, but don't do that:

- 6.2 firmware is for use with 6.2.

- snapshot firmware is for use with a current snapshot. You can't rely
on it working with an earlier release version.

Regarding your problem, you need to isolate things more before anyone
can give meaningful advice. Does this only affect wireless or also
wired? If I understand correctly you see this with downloading and
writing to disk, does it also show up with just network traffic?
(can you run iperf or similar to a computer on the same network?
or at least speedtest-cli?)

Re: Why is so slow the download speed in OpenBSD?

2018-02-13 Thread Jeroen 
There is a bit of information that I am missing. You mentioned that the
throughput on your Amilo, with OpenBSD, is 240KB/s whereas "other OS"
(SiC) is able to get a throughput of 1.4MB/s.

What application are you using to measure the performance? And this is
not meant as an insult, but could it be that whatever you are using on
OpenBSD shows the speed in KByte/s, whereas "other OS" shows it in
Mbit/s?

Second, this might seem unrelated, could you list your fstab? I would
like to know whether to applied the 'noatime,softdep' options :-)

Re: Why is so slow the download speed in OpenBSD?

2018-02-12 Thread Zsolt Kantor 
I've tried different channels and also different modes, I even replaced the 6.2 
firmware with the snapshot (the snapshot version is a little bit bigger in 
size) hoping that it will work better. To be sure with the configuration I used 
the same channel and mode with which in other OS (Windows) is working well. So 
now I'm even more close to the idea that it is a bug in the firmware. If 
somebody can guaranty that it is not from the firmware than it should be a 
configuration issue, but as I stated before I have not touched anything related 
to network configuration, I just made a fresh install and the basic config to 
set up xfce, that's all.
Probably I will fill out a bug report.
Thanks for the support, If you have some other ideas please let me know.

I tried that, but as Edgar said it downloaded all the firmware's from the site, 
even those I'm not needing, eg. radeondrm, but I'm using inteldrm.

I want to send a bug report, but (with a big b) the question is who gonna debug 
the firmware, because as I know those firmware's are non-free code, so maybe it 
is not even the 'job' of the OpenBSD developers to fix the error.

Best to leave off the `-a' or else you will be downloading all available

Hi Zolt

when your laptop is on line try

fw_update -a
command to update firmware...  you probably were not online when the
firmware update command ran (on first boot after install)
See what happens when you run that command ..

Thanks

Re: Why is so slow the download speed in OpenBSD?

2018-02-11 Thread Zsolt Kantor 
First of all I must to clarify that I'm newbie in networking and there are some 
thinks that I don't understand in your message, but, I will do anything you ask 
to resolve the problem, because I think this is a bug in the wifi firmware that 
I'm using (please read the reply sent to Tom). I'm running the default config, 
I have not modified anything related to the network. I will paste here the 
config file output and the command output.
This is in my pf.conf:

#   $OpenBSD: pf.conf,v 1.54 2014/08/23 05:49:42 deraadt Exp $
#
# See pf.conf(5) and /etc/examples/pf.conf

set skip on lo

block return# block stateless traffic
pass# establish keep-state

# By default, do not permit remote connections to X11
block return in on ! lo0 proto tcp to port 6000:6010


this is the output of that command:

block return all
pass all flags S/SA
block return in on ! lo0 proto tcp from any to any port 6000:6010

Re: Why is so slow the download speed in OpenBSD?

2018-02-11 Thread Zsolt Kantor 
Below I provide full information from ifconfig, route and a full dmesg. By the 
way, I think this is a BUG in the wireless firmware that I'm using (downloaded 
from the OpenBSD firmware site). I say this because I found this line in the 
dmesg output: wpi0: fatal firmware error

So below are the outputs.

ifconfig output:

You're not giving us a lot to work with here.

But to answer your question, no, just take a peek at /etc/pf.conf (or
run doas pfctl -sr). If you're running with the default config, there is
no queueing going on.

With no information other than "it's slow" I would have to start guessing.

The first thing I'd check is ifconfig output for the interfaces relevant
to your traffic. Are they running in a suboptimal mode for some reason?
Just to pick a random example, a gigabit interface that for some reason
is stuck at 10 or 100 Mbit or even mismatched duplex settings or a
wireless interface that for some reason did not get one of the better N
modes would fit the symptoms you describe. But so would quite a few
other things.

You really need to supply more information if you want useful help in
troubleshooting.

Hi Zsolt,

in order to help us help you try to include more information

output from dmesg  ,  what is your network configuration

ifconfig
route -n show

there is no default queuing in OpenBSD that would limit you that
badly

Thanks
