is there any known good 1000M managed/smart switch etc thats as affordable as possible that has GOOD qos, & with some sort of dhcp & firewall, enough to hold an external ip & set static ips starting ~ ending range?

ddwrt qos has packet scheduler, queuing discipline, max global rate selection, mac/netmask/services selection (working together with rate limiting), & tcp ack/syn/fyn/rst packet priority. id expect to lose interface priority as i dont see how the switch would see ddwrt's interfaces thats fine.



what would be essential is:


-limitation of a "global" up *AND* downlink qos

-limitation of services similar to ddwrt, with ability to add custom ports+tcp/udp WITH rate limiting. NOT one or the other.

-a netmask like limitation as we have so x.x.x.x/x (or as 255.255.255.x etc) limitation for netmask up *AND* down rates, or AT LEAST by mac

-obviously must be gigabit FD no execptions

tcp ack/syn/fyn/rst packet priority



these 5 minimum, i care for nothing else like number of ports as long as its got 2 or more, remote "secure" access, vpn server, manufacturer brand, physical look etc.

does this item even exist? thats not some thousand dollar enterprise thing? i see the odd few that look like they might be something via manual screenshots but its not enough, & most are 100M not 1000M??!

looking at this cause our qos is bad for almost a decade & now with >k4.4 at least with qualcomm atheros, its adding latency, losing throughput its borderline function & myself & my network users are fed up. qos is getting no attention from BS either, every build is feeling worse if its not on k3.18. we need something with proper working qos and need it yesterday.

the connection idea is modem --> switch --> ddwrt router bridged (if it has to double nat, fine, just no qos)

ill speak by the name of the logic, i'll presume you already 've done your homework and found out that by this rage of requirements this animal does not exist ...
You want she to be blond, quiet, smart with good manners, long legs big breasts, nice smile, to follow your steps to be rich n' famous and not to cause you a STRESS at all..., well its not gonna work in that way...you have to sacrifice something i guess...

personally i use Gargoyle for QoS and Quotes, but its not that great too its the same shit and its CPU dependant as well, if you have many customers it gets funky.. so for mild use its ok for me and my set up...

but i've also looked in another direction like managed switch and got this Netgear gigabit in my sig and for low speeds it works fine for the moment http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/GS105EV2/WebManagedSwitches_UM_EN.pdf

but i also looked at http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/GS808E/GS808E_UM_EN.pdf as a better opportunity but i guess it wont be much different performance....next level is enterprise

i know its not blond rich and famous but it does well so far so good as you may guess more extras more money and more stress

[tatsuya46]

if i knew it didnt exist i wouldnt be asking. that manual is interesting but unclear if enterable rates are preset from a menus or customizable by entering in any custom number. or if there is also qos by tcp/udp port numbers. wondering why only 512mbps limit max if its a 1gbps switch.

already looked at s8000 its not what i need

[Alozaros]

yep you can enter custom number...
but i guess good QoS performance is bound with good CPU power, good CPU mean more cash

[tatsuya46]

whats the fastest speeds u used with ProSAFE-GS105Ev2? can it do like eg: port 8080~8088 tcp with a certain priority, 53~65535 udp highest priority etc?

[Alozaros]

naah its pretty basic and i don't remember much of it now i set it forget it i have 100mbit beaked down to 4x25Mbits ish and its working well... i don't know if you have more like 1Gbit down to 4x250 i guess it will be too much but for slow speeds its fine no complains so far...consider its price too..
currently im away of my units when i get back ill check it
if you'd need...

something like this is looks perfect http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/FVS338_RM_28Jan2010.pdf

pages 79~82

now just for a newer modern gigabit version of something like this

[Alozaros]

yep it looks reasonable price...and if it works as intended...

[msoengineer]

What about one from ubiquiti networks?

Seems like this may be running K3.18 from a you tube video I saw...

[Alozaros]

[tatsuya46]

ER-X is borderline powerful enough for 150mbps with qos i dont want to risk it, but there is ER-4 now, somewhat affordable unlike ER-8, thats probably the one id go to if i do.. still looking at x86/64 builds & trying them in VM, pfsense etc but im not liking most of them.

unless brainslayer realizes the problems & reverts to k3.18, or k4.9+ gets fixed..

[Alozaros]

er-4 looks very decent 4x 1ghz could do
pricewise love is too dear...
