Mangle and Fasttrack [SOLVED]
I use PCC/Connection Marking and when fastrack is enabled it still works but seems slow to respond to connection can I reorder the fastrack rules to allow these to be processed first and the fastrack everything else after?

Re: Mangle and Fasttrack
Fastrack and mangling do not mix. Suggest turn fastrack off. Do you mangle all your traffic or just some, if just some one thing you can do is ensure you use connection marks on the traffic you are mangling and then on the fasttrack rule itself add the following at the end ... connection-mark=no-mark
Re: Mangle and Fasttrack
Thanks that’s useful I only mark a few src IP so I’ll try that
Re: Mangle and Fasttrack
Fasttrack works fine with mangle rules, it's the default rule that doesn't because it forces connections to bypass mangle because it's a firewall rule. The fasttrack no-mark/all other traffic in mangle is an efficient way around the issue, but you can also fasttrack any marked connection as well to avoid queues if you desire.
Re: Mangle and Fasttrack
Mangle, PCC and fastracking works fine as long you work cleanly.
Fastracking in Firewall comes after Mangle, so Mangle has more influence. BTW you can also mark tot fastrack traffic in Mangle.
Remember that once marked fasttracked some traffic will go the slow way to allow checks and changes. Secondly fasttracking and using a VPN on the router don't mix.

You're right. It's the queues that are bypassed.

thanks for the info, I am marking some traffic to go a VPN so the above comment of connection-mark=no-mark works well as I don't want to fastrack the VPN connectionsMangle, PCC and fastracking works fine as long you work cleanly.

Re: Mangle and Fasttrack
I set this (connection-mark=no-mark ) in Fasttrack
I can now activate the 3 WANs and they work fine
But the bandwidth speed of the providers is still halved
What can I do?
thanks

Re: Mangle and Fasttrack

By disabling fasttrack, processing gets much more CPU-intensive. Depending on router model used it often means that router is no more capable of routing at high speeds.
