BE550, QoS + Flow Controller = huge bufferbloat
BE550, QoS + Flow Controller = huge bufferbloat
Hi, I have an asymmetric internet speed (2500/250). I wanted to limit the upload using QoS, but as a result, a very large bufferbloat (and jitter) appears in all checks. But I found that if I turn off the flow controller on LAN and WAN, then everything becomes normal. Therefore, I have a question to which I have not found a clear answer, is a flow controller needed at home? What is its role in TP-Link routers? Thanks.

Subject: [Forum Escalation][ID 837928] Enabling the Flow Controller causes severe network jitter and packet loss on Archer BE800.
Forum Nickname: Ryan_J
Thread URL:https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/837928?replyId=1627332
Model&Version: Archer BE800_V1_1.2.4
Description:
- Enabling the Flow Controller causes severe network jitter and packet loss, and significant buffer overflow; disabling it restores normal operation.
- Disabling the Flow Controller results in upload speeds less than 1/4 of those with the Flow Controller enabled.
- Enabling or disabling QoS has no significant impact.
Any Other Relevant Information:
Please attach the backup file and system log on your BE800 for further investigation.
