Hi,
I have a router that has QOS, There are three computers that use the internet, one machine is mine the other two are basically P2P machines.
I set the other two machines on the network, so that all there traffic is routed through at a priority of 255, the lowest possible.
On my machine i have the internet port 80 and dns port 53 at priority 50, pretty high.
I started to notice that when the p2p machines were on the network, if they were browsing the internet as well as using p2p it would sometimes slow my pages up for a second. So when i open firefox, instead of it instantly loading my home page of google, it would wait a second or so and then open.
Now if anyone is using p2p or anything like that it doesnt affect me because they are set to very low priority. My webpages are lovely and fast.
What i thought was happening was that there dns traffic was getting stuck in loads of P2P traffic and so when i wanted to open a webpage it was still waiting for a previous DNS request to go through first.
Its not really a problem, it just takes a second or so and then the page loads fine, it doenst do it often but it just sort of sticks out and i only noticed it when they are browsing as well as uploading.
I set up a rule so that there DNS traffic goes through at the same high priority as mine and this seems to have fixed the issue.
Does this make sense to the network boffs out there, is that a plausable explaination.
