Tags: #ISP Load
Model: Omada Software Controller (Linux)  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 5.9.9

Hello,

 

I have an interesting situation. Suddenly, my internet connection dropped in bandwidth to 3Mbps download based on a workstation speed check.

 

Looking at the Omada Controller, the ISP Load shows "Good". I re-ran a "Test Speed" and the status still showed "Good"

To me, this indicated an issue with the workstation connection. Only after a while re-powering the site's modem the workstation speed was back to normal.

 

Now why does the ISP load on the Omada controller show as "Good"?

 

Configured Bandwitdh: 250 Mps.

Measured Bandwidth: 3 Mbps.

 

 

Is this a defect, is something else being measured or is this considered as good?

 

Thanks and best wishes,

Good, poor etc in terms of the WAN speed is based on the utilisation vs available capacity at that time.

 

Say you have 100 down, and you are using 90 down then its likely POOR.   100 down using 10, likely GOOD, its probably based on a percentage based algorithm.

 

In your scenario, it read 3 down and you where using little / idle so reads GOOD as its <10% utilistaion

 

Thats how I have interpreted this anyways..

As I see, the detection mechanism of ISP Load is based on online detection, Good is not a result of speed but a connection.

So Good means the WAN connection is OK, but it doesn't do with the speed. Maybe, I guess.

Just striving to develop myself while helping others.

@Philbert, I think you are onto something.

 

I just set my download speed to 1Mbps and the ISP Load changed to "Medium". The WAN down utilization is around 30%.

 

Streaming a 4k video from my favourite video platform now put it at 2150% download utilization (cool!). ISP Load: "No Data"

 

So playing a bit with the download speed settings seem to indicate these Gateway WAN Network Utilisation thresholds:

> 100% = "No Data"

> 60% = "Poor"

>20 = "Medium"

< 20 = "Good"

 

Thank you for the direction!
