QOS on a SM

I have a question about QOS tab

mainly the MIR Bandwith settings

i use this to cap speeds on the canopy sm

for example 5.7 sm P9 with 10.3.1 firmware connected to a 5.7 AP Adv Omni P9 10.3.1 firmware

the ap is connected to 50MB fibre connection with 20 users

sm is using the following MIR bandwidth settings

Sustained Uplink Data Rate :600 (kbps) (Range: 0— 7000 kbps)
Sustained Downlink Data Rate : 2500 (kbps) (Range: 0— 7000 kbps)
Uplink Burst Allocation : 500000 (kbits) (Range: 0 — 500000 kbits)
Downlink Burst Allocation :500000 (kbits) (Range: 0 — 500000 kbits

canopy link test from sm is
Current Results Stats for LUID: 10 Test Duration: 10 Pkt Length: 1522

Downlink RATE: 10081075 bps
Uplink RATE: 2823782 bps
Aggregate RATE: 12904857 bps
Pkt Xmt (Act/Exp): 2298/0
Pkt Rcv (Act/Exp): 8198/0

Downlink Efficiency: 99 Percent
Downlink Index (Act/Max): 99/100
Frag Count (Act/Exp): 197282/196896

Uplink Efficiency: 99 Percent
Uplink Index (Act/Max): 99/100
Frag Count (Act/Exp): 55633/55152

The problem is when i do a internet speed test am getting 5mb down and 2mb up

but my MIR settings are set to 2.5mb down and 600k up…Why is it that the sm is not capping it at those speeds?

Thanks

You will need to set the burst. Some ips set it to zero, I set mine at 100000 which allows for a great speed test before slowing to the 2500 we allow

+1. We set ours to 1024 on the burst

4

8000 on ours

5

What should the burst be set at for up and down in order to adequately cover the average speedtest site like speedtest.net or speakeasy.net, etc.

We currently have ours set for 160000, which is 20MB. Is this too high? Thoughts…

The figures I posted in that "limiting PPS" thread get about a result of around 2.5 Mbps download on speedtest.net. If you watch the "meter" on their Flash applet you can pretty much see the point at which the throttling kicks in, but the result still comes out great.
