I game alot on my main PC, and always place priority on reduced latency for the packets on the ports the game server uses. I recently changed nearly all the hardware in my Astaro box, which unfortunately would not work with the previous firewall settings backup (Astaro would not be accessible if I tried to use the old hardware backup), so I had to setup rules from scratch again. For some reason though, the QOS does not seem to be performing the same as it used to.
Previously, the ping times to the game server would remain virtually unchanged, no matter how much the DSL was being used (its a shared connection throughout the home). However, now the ping times will shoot up to well over half a second, even though the QOS setting for those ports are set to minimize latency. I'm not really sure what to do to solve this problem, or even how I had things setup previously that worked fine. Any suggestions on what to do to get the latency back to normal? [:S]
