Title: Openreach FTTC Target SNR 3dB reduced Bras IP Profile to 92.64%
Post by: adslmax on July 30, 2018, 11:47:26 PM
Is it true that Openreach FTTC no longer get 96.69% from IP Profile if the sync rate sit at 79999K from Target SNR 3dB as the IP Profile sit at 74.1Mb rather than 77.35Mb with G.INP enabled.

Before:

Max Rate 80021K
Sync Rate 79999K
SNR 5.9dB
G.INP Enabled
Bras IP Profile 77.35Mb (96.69%)

Now:

Max Rate 81069K
Sync Rate 79999K
SNR 3.1dB
G.INP Enabled
Bras IP Profile 74.1Mb (92.64%)

Depends if your DLM profile is Re-tx high  - See NGA for VDSL / FTTC  Profiles (https://kitz.co.uk/adsl/IPprofile.htm#IP_and_bRAS_profiles)

Figure is 91-92% for lines which have High Re-tx DLM profiles

I think most/all lines on 3dB have re-tx high.


Whats your INP REIN figure from your line stats?

From my experience all Broadcom modems use retx high on 3, 4, and 5dB SNRM targets.

I've only ever once seen a line with a 3dB (or 4/5dB) SNRM target with retx low and that was Blacksheep using his
BT HH5A.
Usually we can't see the stats of this modem in detail but he posted his line profile which confirmed it.

https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,20102.msg352352.html#msg352352

This was fairly early on in the XdB rollout so things may have changed but I'm pretty convinced the Broadcoms default to retx high.

He's an OpenReach engineer max ...

Thanks BS! Impossible to tell from the stats of said modem.

It's probably a Broadcom thing.
When MDWS was still up I checked every single user with a sub 6dB SNRM target* and every single 1 had Bearer 0 INPRein 1 which we understand to be retx high.

* it was easy to tell on mdws between snrm's with a lower target and those that had dropped from the 6dB target.

Ah that's explain cos he work for openreach but I do think that's every customers should have that feature tools via the ISP.

I am currently on 3db and my line is re-tx low. It was on high after my line was un-banded and this was confirmed by my ISP.

Sync rate is: 68680
BRAS rate is: 66410 (96.74%)

How I got it changed was to manually limit my connection speed, thus reducing errors. The DLM then kicked in after just under a week and removed re-tx high.

Title: Re: Openreach FTTC Target SNR 3dB reduced Bras IP Profile to 92.64%
Post by: j0hn on August 03, 2018, 09:34:21 PM
I am currently on 3db and my line is re-tx low. It was on high after my line was un-banded and this was confirmed by my ISP.

Sync rate is: 68680
BRAS rate is: 66410 (96.74%)

How I got it changed was to manually limit my connection speed, thus reducing errors. The DLM then kicked in after just under a week and removed re-tx high.

I can see your stats confirm this with Bearer 0 INPRein 0.
I'm now 110% confident this tells us with certainty if a line is retx low/high.

I just capped my own line from 46Mb to 32Mb in the hope of nudging DLM to retx low.

edit: to cap your line the necessary commands is

xdslcmd configure --maxDataRate 60000 20000 100000
or
adsl configure --maxDataRate 60000 20000 100000

This would cap the line at 60/20. The 3rd figure can be left at 100000. Adjust to suit your own line.

If you are unsure if you need to use adsl or xdslcmd feel free to ask and dungeons will be happy to advise.

Would anyone who is taking advantage of this advice to lower retransmission level and who runs DslStats spend a couple minutes of your time to contribute to the pool of knowledge.

I'm interested in seeing the following figures before capping your line and during the cap.

ES and FEC
and from the G.INP tab
rtx_tx, rtx_uc and LEFTERS

Snapshots/Screenshots of these graphs would be very much appreciated.
We would like to get some idea what parameters DLM is monitoring when deciding on retx high/low.

DslStats does not routinely gather snapshots of G.INP graphs but clicking the camera icon in the bottom left of DslStats while viewing each graph will take a snapshot of that particular graph.

I think that INP Rein 0 = Off. 
Like you, I'm pretty sure that this is the indicator for re-tx low/high, which is why I asked Max to provide that info from his stats.

I used the information in this thread https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,16427.0.html to cap my line.

adsl configure --maxDataRate 30000 15000 100000 is what I used on my Zyxel VMG8924-B10A

Hopefully it works for your line. I’m sure I capped my line at 30Mb and took a few days for the DLM to kick in if I can remember correctly, I done it a few months back and has been on re-tx low ever since.

My last modem reboot was 24 days ago and my line is pretty stable.

I’m glad that I could help confirm this.

That was just another user (but only the 2nd I've seen) showing retx low @ 3dB.

Then about 15 mins ago...

It took a few hours over 9 days for DLM to drop from retx high to low.
I had anticipated 8-11 days.

IP Profile is 96.69%.
Hopefully it holds retx low. It's a nice little boost in throughput.

That's good news John.

Has Openreach changed on retx low @ 3dB for everyones now to get IP Profile at the maximum rate 96.69%? I hope so :)

Post by: j0hn on August 13, 2018, 03:18:54 AM
No max I had to "trick" DLM in to thinking my line is more stable than it really is by capping my sync.

I always had 0 ES and 0 LEFTERS everyday.
rtx_tx only lowered a very small amount with my line capped.
The main change was my FEC numbers. They reduced from between 1,000 - 10,000/min to under 1,000/hour with the cap on.
This again makes me think DLM takes FEC into account.

Then about 15 mins ago...

And we have a winner!

IP Profile is 96.69%.
Hopefully it holds retx low. It's a nice little boost in throughput.

Excellent news  :yay:

I always had 0 ES and 0 LEFTERS everyday.
rtx_tx only lowered a very small amount with my line capped.
The main change was my FEC numbers. They reduced from between 1,000 - 10,000/min to under 1,000/hour with the cap on.
This again makes me think DLM takes FEC into account.

That is interesting as previously Openreach said they didn't from a few sources. 
However since G.INP I've suspected they used other params and when I asked, they wouldn't be drawn.  When I mentioned LEFTRS it was glossed over, but I should/would have thought that would be the most likely one to watch.

PS did your rtx_uc figures change?

I've always suspected that Openreach's DLM takes FEC errors into consideration, as to whether it's worth removing traditional interleaving or not for example. It's interesting to read someone else's experience and the possibility that it may do so.

Max your line is already Retransmission Low.
I don't think you can trick DLM in to lowering the SNRM target.

If DLM lowers your SNRM to 5dB and increases your sync to 79,999 it will move you to Retransmission High and you will get slower throughput than you do now.

If that happens post here and I will happily recommend a cap to try lower the line to Retransmission Low.
Until then you shouldn't worry about it or obsess over a couple Mb. You sync considerably higher than most already.

I've always suspected that Openreach's DLM takes FEC errors into consideration, as to whether it's worth removing traditional interleaving or not for example.

That's exactly my thoughts. My experience is it only uses FEC figures when deciding to remove interleaving or lower retx from high to low.
i don't believe DLM takes negative action for high FEC, but it may not make positive changes if FEC is working hard.


Quote from: kitz
PS did your rtx_uc figures change?

No change there either. The only noticeable change to any my figures while the line was capped was the FEC's which dropped significantly.
I had the exact same with sticky interleaving on my ECI cabinet. ES were under 100/day for months, well below ILQ green but interleaving would not budge.
Capping the line lowered FEC from circa 10,000/min to just under 1,000/hour and the line returned to fastpath.

I'm not convinced my line will hold retx low unfortunately.
Every single day I have 0 ES/LEFTERS with retx high but so far I've had 33 LEFTERS in the last 12 hours on retx low so it certainly seems makes a difference.
It's no doubt pushing my line which over achieves considerably.
24.6dB attenuation and 1022m long from my last GEA test I do not bad getting 45Mb.

No, it carries all the overhead messages, many of which will be unrelated to retransmission functions.

Been synced a tad under 80MBit for months with a 4dB SNR target but RETX high (so coming from RETX Low at 6dB to a sub 6dB target hasn't really done anything for me overall)so just decided to cap my line at 65MBit today to see if I can get Re Tx low back again.

Already I can see that I've gone from about 5000 FEC/hour to about 15 so curious how long this takes.

Did any of you who successfully forced retx low notice a considerable drop in any of the below figures?

ES or FEC
rtx_tx, rtx_uc or LEFTERS (from the G.INP tab on DslStats)

It would be good to try collaborate and try narrow down which parameters DLM is interested in for changing retx high/low.

Makes me really miss MDWS  :no:

I just applied a cap slightly higher than what I can sync at.

For me I set 48000 10000 100000
I usually sync about 45-46Mb but the 48Mb cap ensures I won't sync any higher if the DSLAM reboots and I reconnect before crosstalkers.

Having only a 3dB SNRM means less headroom for such events. If I connect higher than that my ES/LEFTERS increase considerably and DLM drops me to 4dB very quickly.

Thanks John,

So would you say 20000/73000 would be ok for my line, although I would prefer just to remove any cap in place (thus a power down/remove VDSL cable/wait 30mins reconnect and power up would be the safest thing to do for this?).

I'll have a better indication of differences once I get the full sync back up, although LEFTERs/ES were 0 before and I doubt this will change, 0 now on current sync, some small amount on U/L.

Anyway my full stats before capping the line, i'll post my new stats after a good data population...

Post by: j0hn on August 16, 2018, 07:06:16 PM
80000 20000 100000 would effectively remove the cap.
Rebooting would also be fine though.

I'm interested in the changes in figures from before the cap and during the cap.
I want to try identify what figures DLM notices are lower that makes it try retx low.

Figures after the line has gone retx low won't help with that but will still add to the overall pool of data and would be appreciated.

For me I set 48000 10000 100000
I usually sync about 45-46Mb but the 48Mb cap ensures I won't sync any higher if the DSLAM reboots and I reconnect before crosstalkers.

So the settings passed to "xdslctl configure" persist even after a resync? So all that need to be done to make any settings like maxDataRate or snr for those that use it persistent across reboots is to have the xdslctl configure command issued at some point during the boot?

I'm interested in the changes in figures from before the cap and during the cap.

I've been thinking about this.  Previously they denied using FEC.  I tried asking about LEFTRS but it was completely glossed over.
The most obvious is probably LEFTRS or rtx_uc yet you have seen no difference in either of those.. nor Err/Secs

I'm still not totally dismissing FEC, but what about the SNRMargin...  eg:   
if (Profile == 3dB) && (SNRM > 5dB) && (Errors < 'x') then reduce retx

I just made up 5dB.  Errors could be LEFTRS/ErrSecs as usual

If it is SNRM, it could explain why capping works not just for retx, but was also able to remove Interleaving.   Openreach doesn't expect people to be able to tweak the Target SNRM anymore... but when we cap we are artificially increasing the SNRM.

So in the early hours of this morning, approx just 36 hours after imposing my cap DLM intervention caused a resync which removed Re Tx High and I'm now back on low. It also appears to have moved me from a 4dB target to a 3dB target SNR finally.
Stats after resync.

Note I do have an occasional source of interference that reduces my SNR by approx 1dB and sometimes lasts for a day, sometimes for a few weeks so I'm not sure if this is the reason that my attainable (and thus new actual sync speed) is lower than 80MBit or if the reason is because of ReTx low and no INP REIN being switched on. I used to use MDWS but since its demise I've sadly lacked closer scrutiny of my connection.

Sorry for this second OT post, but I was playing with "xdslctl configure" options last night with a view to placing one in the start up of a zyxel modem.

"xdslctl configure --maxDataRate" clears a lot of other options from the configuration of the modem when issued. To the extent that VDSL as a modulation type becomes disabled, obviously this cant really be the case as the way it has been used by people in this thread would not work. It also clears phyre, but I guess this in an ADSL thing, but also bitswap, sra and trellis.. at least as reported after the command.

So the VDSL lines people have tried this on behave exactly as before after creating the cap? Makes me think very little of the modems chosen settings have any effect at all.

bitswap always continues to work as normal.
never had a problem setting maxdatarate it's a command I've played with for a few years.

I dont use "xdslctl configure --maxDataRate" but rather "adsl configure --maxDataRate" but i would expect identical results from both.

It survives all resyncs wether DSLAM rebooting, DLM initiated or user initiated. It only clears after a reboot of the modem.

I have now settled on capping my line at 74000 to keep FEC errors nice and low - just 20,000 in the last 24hrs. My BRAS IP profile is now 73.7Mbps.

It does seem daft that BT lower your SNR margin to 3dB to increase line speed, however they then add INPREIN=1 which reduces your IP profile and data throughput massively.

As long don't let openreach see this thread post otherwise openreach could adjusted DLM to stop people's mess around with cap the line and trying to get low rxt

I don't think they'd care so much about us using this method.   What they did not like is people adjusting their Target SNR margin to say 2/3db and then some numpties complaining because their line became unstable at such low rates.   BT made specific mention of people playing with Target SNRM to have an adverse effect on the line.   

This method is in effect increasing the Target SNRm (rather than reducing) to give DLM a nudge.    DLM is now clever enough to know that if the line is unstable to take back what it giveth.

The old method was permanently able to over-ride DLM parameters.  This method just gives the DLM a tap on the shoulder to say "hey I think this line is ok and stable enough to have a better profile...  but you still have full control over it."

The capping method worked as Archetytype486 suggested RTX is now low after 2 days with cap in place, INP: has been stuck at 52.00 and also interleaving Depth of 4 for 5 months.
INP: now at 45.00 and interleaved depth 16.

Before capping the sync to 26000 Kbps the FECS per day were 3-4 million, Errored seconds 4 - 7 SNRM 4.8dB, after capping the SNRM rose to 12dB FECS went down to 5000 per day and just 1 errored second in 2 days.

Hi,

Noticed my IP Profile is now 74.1 instead of 77.35 even though my Sync is at 79999/19999 and my max Attainable is 82492 and 249595

I have an unlocked Openreach modem, if I cap my line to 64999 and 14999 would this cause the DLM ?

Cheers

If you are on Rtx high then yes, can you post your --stats with the included INP: and INPRein: for Bearer 0 details to see if you have a high/low Rtx...

You would only need to cap the upstream if that also had retx high. That may result in DLM removing G.INP from the upstream completely for anyone who is fortunate enough to have it.
I'm not too sure about the effect of retx high on upstream throughput though?

I edited a previous post and added this text below but will post it here again for the benefit of anyone who's been following the thread and wishing to try this.

Would anyone who is taking advantage of this advice to lower retransmission level and who runs DslStats spend a couple minutes of your time to contribute to the pool of knowledge.

I'm interested in seeing the following figures before capping your line and during the cap.

ES and FEC
and from the G.INP tab
rtx_tx, rtx_uc and LEFTERS

Snapshots/Screenshots of these graphs would be very much appreciated.
We would like to get some idea what parameters DLM is monitoring when deciding on retx high/low.

DslStats does not routinely gather snapshots of G.INP graphs but clicking the camera icon in the bottom left of DslStats while viewing each graph will take a snapshot of that particular graph.

Max DLM will likely take weeks/months before it tries lowering your SNRM.
Your line has been running at full sync on 6dB for months.

I've no idea why you are getting so worked up over 1.6Mb  :no:

I don’t need the re-tx low but in the interest of the experiment I’m happy to give it a go and will be capping my line shortly.

My stats are viewable at https://www.pooclah.net/dslstats (https://www.pooclah.net/dslstats)

Unfortunately I don’t keep history, don’t have time to set it up this evening, and working away Monday to Friday so it won’t happen any time soon.

If anyone is interested they can keep an eye on my stats from the link above.

It's very much appreciated unfortunately none of the G.INP stats are snapshot automatically or in the Webserver.

Could you possibly click the camera in the bottom left of each of the G.INP tabs on DslStats?

Once now with a graph full of pre cap stats, then a further once during the cap should suffice.  :hat:
a graph of half and half would be alright too.

Would anyone who is taking advantage of this advice to lower retransmission level and who runs DslStats spend a couple minutes of your time to contribute to the pool of knowledge.

I am happy about sharing anything I have. I don't think I have anything before capping my line but I will look through my archives and backups.

I am away from home for the next couple of days but I will see what I have access to remotely.

I have not got around to setting consistent saving of data since MDWS closed down

Make a start by reading through this thread (https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,21237.0.html), Max. There should be enough there to get you going with your own customised version.

Max DLM will likely take weeks/months before it tries lowering your SNRM.
Your line has been running at full sync on 6dB for months.

I've no idea why you are getting so worked up over 1.6Mb  :no:

My router has been resync just confirmed by dslstats alert email at 11:34am and it changed from the upstream to reduced 19999K to 17745K and downstream reduced from 78389K to 74022K and reduced upstream SNR from 15.1dB to 7.6dB but the downstream SNR went up from 6.4dB to 7.3dB.

It wasn't banded, nothing you did removed any banding. All you did was resync the modem and got back to some more usual stats.

Yes, I saw, congratulations, I assume you wanted to have a fault.

That still doesn't mean that every single change to your dsl stats is the DLM's doing.

Seems to have nudged the DLM to try a lower SNRm while increasing the max attainable :)

Indeed it is, but I think he's pointing out that it nudged DLM in to lowering the SNRM target from 6dB to 5dB or from 5dB to 4dB (I can't work out which from the attainable and actual SNRM shown).

I believe (could be wrong) DLM will try retx high first when lowering the target SNRM. If not always it does most of the time.

Apologies j0hn I didn’t see your request until after I’d applied the cap.  I did grab a set of images a few hours after the cap & another set this morning after re-tx high was removed.

If they are of any use you can view them here

You caught the change from before cap to during cap.

There was a decent drop in rtx_tx and LEFTERS with the cap on.
rtx_uc was pretty much nil pre-cap.

Cheers Kevin, much appreciated!

No problem.

I've just removed the cap and I'll do another set in a couple of days for comparison.

I’ve added todays G.inp data while on retx low in case it’s of use to anyone.

Now to see if it holds.

How long roughly does the DLM take after applying the cap, been about 8 days now
Title: Re: Openreach FTTC Target SNR 3dB reduced Bras IP Profile to 92.64%
Post by: j0hn on August 29, 2018, 04:50:59 PM
In my experience it can be 8-11 days.
If you were overly cautious your cap may not be enough.

What cap did you set?
Sorry if already mentioned in the thread I'm on my phone atm.

I would advise waiting another 3 days before changing anything anyway.

Title: Re: Openreach FTTC Target SNR 3dB reduced Bras IP Profile to 92.64%
Post by: j0hn on August 30, 2018, 12:28:12 PM
It took less than 48 hours for me and I think another person here too. Maybe still too many errors?

48 hours definitely isn't the norm and I would advise anyone else to wait 11 days before increasing any cap to lower errors further.

The 1st time DLM takes negative action on a line (say applying interleaving) it may remove that action in 48 hours (return the line to fastpath in that case).

The next time DLM takes that action (interleaving) it would take longer to remove this as they use the "doubler" method.
Though in my experience it's double double as it jumps from 2 days to remove DLM actions to around 8 days (8-11 days in my experience).

If a line doesn't drop to retx low within a few days my advice would be don't increase the cap to lower errors but wait the full 11 days first.

Update:

It worked after 9 days !

Excellent news!

I can maybe be a control for high FEC errors. I am on my second go of capping to initially get from 4db to 3db target, having had 3db for ~6 months+ and losing it after a several prolonged noise problems, but no harm in seeing how long retx low would stick, if I ever get there. Initially capped too high and although single digit CRCs and LEFTRS had the line drop, so now with lower cap:

So 7 ES after 11 days seem the best I can hope for, so I either FECs matter or the 99 rtx_uc & 36 LEFTRS are too high still.

Hmm.. cant hurt to leave it a few more days I guess.

Title: Re: Openreach FTTC Target SNR 3dB reduced Bras IP Profile to 92.64%
Post by: j0hn on September 13, 2018, 05:22:34 PM
Any reason you have both upstream/downstream heavily capped if both are already on the optimum profile?

With Retx High I had 1 single LEFTERS per day (caused by a uvb bulb/ballast for my reptile light turning on at 7:59am everyday, so I discount this usually and say 0).

Since going Retx Low this increased to about 100 per day. In the last couple weeks I've been getting nearer 400-500 LEFTERS per day and the line is holding great at 3dB retx Low.

Seems it might need a kick (the cap) you get the line down to ReTx Low for many, but it holds there pretty good.

@ jOhn

Shall I applied the cap to 64999 19999 from 78044 19999 eg: adsl configure --maxDataRate 64999 19999 100000 because I want my line back to 79999 19999 with snr 3dB with retx low. (will it work if I applied the cap to force DLM to get target 3dB snr?)

Title: Re: Openreach FTTC Target SNR 3dB reduced Bras IP Profile to 92.64%
Post by: j0hn on September 14, 2018, 12:27:02 AM
You're already on retx low.
DLM may be programmed to not lower the SNRM if you are that close to 80Mb.

If it lowers the SNRM target to 5dB for you it would go to retx high and your throughput would be even less than it is now.

If you really want to try "nudge" DLM then try a 69999 19999 cap.
I don't know if it will work but you never know.

As you have the line capped if DLM does resync the line to lower the target SNRM then you won't see the sync increase.
You should see the max attainable going up though.

IF it does lower your SNRM target to 5dB it will almost certainly put the line on ReTx High.
Post here if you see any changes. It can take 8-11 days if it does actually work.

Don't worry about it if it doesn't work max as you already have a very high sync compared to many other members. You're only a tiny bit under full sync but it doesn't hurt to try  :)

Yeah, even though 78000+ is a great rate, knowing I had 3dB to play with, I'd want to try and bump it to 79999 as well :D

Thanks @ jOhn but I think it best to leave it alone. Too risky for high retx and lower ip profile, don't want that.

Any reason you have both upstream/downstream heavily capped if both are already on the optimum profile?

The reason for that was to try and keep FEC's low, but then my 8800AXL V1 went funny and refused to give out IP addresses. But after a reboot, all is well.

Here's 24hr stats with no cap applied, FEC's are not too bad...

Title: Re: Openreach FTTC Target SNR 3dB reduced Bras IP Profile to 92.64%
Post by: michty_me on January 29, 2019, 10:07:11 AM
Morning everyone,

I'm looking to do this to my line to see if I can get it to switch to Retx low.
Would a 60Mbps cap be sufficient on a line synching at 70.5Mbps or would you cap a little lower?

I limited the line to 50mbps and Retx low was in place on day 3.

Not sure if I will see any benefit from doing this - but hoping even though I'm not at 3dB I can increase the BRAS profile by capping the sync, all the same?

Not sure if I will see any benefit from doing this - but hoping even though I'm not at 3dB I can increase the BRAS profile by capping the sync, all the same?

I would say you are already at your maximum speed. It doesn't look capped.

I didn't say my speed was capped, I meant putting a cap on myself and dropping the speed might mean I can go down to retx low and then effectively end up with a higher speed because the BRAS profile will be higher?

Will choosing "When DSL connection is down" ensure the command gets run if the modem gets rebooted?

Post by: bkehoe on December 26, 2019, 10:27:26 PM
I imagine if you cap it the first thing it'll do is change you to a 3dB target, and then once you're sure its done that you'll cap it again to get it onto ReTx Low..that was how I got to 3dB retx low in my old house.

Will I see the maximum go up even if the SNRM doesn't drop, as I assume the cap will remain in place even if the target SNRM drops?

The VMG1312 syncs I think around 3000Kbps faster, so I might be able to get to around 60Mbps throughput with that modem if I am lucky.

Post by: bkehoe on December 27, 2019, 10:04:52 AM
Yeah the maximum will go up after the target SNR is changed and the modem resyncs. Cap will stay in place until you reboot the router.

My circuit is still underperforming on downstream throughput thanks to a incorrectly configured Bras IP profile (which a have no visibility of, ) btw tester will no longer show IP profile , always times out or gives so error, and the other method returns a BT refused to return a result , My circuit had been put on a RETX high profile, but DLM later removed that and reverted it back to Low, but the IP profile seems to be stuck as the lower percentile , Zen have calculated the IP profile from the cvlan rate, and had that manually set to 77.35mbps but throughput is still just under 72mbps

Well, it looks like you getting a lot of FEC errors, which may be considered by DLM that is why may not taking positive action, especially that you run for 12 days now.

Yeah maybe set 40000 then. 12+ days is too long. Mine takes 4 days every time to get INPRein=0 (lots of recent ISP changes and DLM resets)

I've given this another go.

Capped line to 35000Kbps, before I think the issue was I was still clocking up a fairly high number of FECs which I think prevents DLM from taking positive action?

Does anyone have ideas about what level they would need to get down to, to ensure DLM takes the action and puts me on retransmission low?

You may find my experiencies as related in this recent post relevant:
https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,25214.msg423411.html#msg423411

I have managed to retain DS G.Inp low re-tx profile to date with an average FEC error/hr daily rate of approx 12000 as reported by DSLStats which I run 24/7, odd days are much higher/lower and my modem DS 40 Mbps clamp is still applied.

My line took 14 days with a fairly severe DS modem clamp applied before DLM action intervened and changed to re-tx low profile.

Post by: GigabitEthernet on November 20, 2020, 01:28:45 PM
Thanks @tiffy, with 35000 applied I am running just under 10,000 FECs per hour (only been applied for 12 hours or so).

We will see if this has any impact.

Am I right in saying if I get re-tx low, I will not need to keep the FECs low as DLM only applies positive action, not negative in regards to FECs?

Have not seen a definitive forum answer to that question, lots of different opinions, my interpretation is that DLM is probably more tolerant to higher FEC rates when re-tx low profile has been achieved with respect to consequential re-application of re-tx high profile.

I still do my best to maintain the lowest possible DS FEC rates and as outlined in the previously referenced thread have kept a DS 40 Mbps modem clamp applied even though by provisioned service is only 40/10 and my line will only ever be capable of marginally over 40 Mbps DS synch. under any provision, appears to help, can't really explain why.

I have - somewhat rarely - vectoring on my line, so will be interesting to see if this makes any difference to the results.

I don't know if my line is just very noisy but without a cap I get millions and millions of FECs, never seemed to cause any harm to the usage of the connection (as they are corrected) but I wonder if this is why I have always been stuck on re-tx high. At one stage I was able to achieve 10Mb up on the upstream (when I first had the circuit provisioned, I had 55/10 and that is exactly what I got) but over time my upstream seems to have dropped. But it can't be crosstalk as I believed vectoring would stop that from having an impact.

Indeed, one of the very few.
My perhaps simplistic understanding of vectoring technology is that it should certainly help if not completely eliminate the effects of crosstalk on the line from FTTC cabinet to user.
Why you DS synch has dropped to 35,000 Kbps with 55/10 provision and vectoring in service, don't know.
Very round figure, could your line be banded ?

This was my initial thinking also, errors that the technology has pre-corrected, however, the FEC error rate does seem to be at least one of the factors which DLM considers with respect to G.Inp re-tx profile control, as previously stated, how much this effects low to high re-tx migration via DLM is not clear.
However, quite a few forum patrons have positively established that once on DS re-tx high profile, reducing the FEC error rate by modem DS synch speed clamping will eventually produce DLM action to change re-tx profile to low.

Of course, the modem DS speed clamp will also have the effect of reducing other factors such as G.Inp LEFTRS and  rtx_uc rates which some believe are in the DLM control equasion as well ?

Sorry @tiffy, I have merged two issues - and have confused you and me in the process!

What I mean is: I have purposefully capped my line to 35Mb on the downstream, in order to try and achieve Re-TX low as you have advised above. That is what you see in the stats I posted.

My other - separate - issue is that over time I have seen that my upstream sync has reduced. Initially I was able to achieve sync of over 10Mb and that has dropped to around 8 over the last year or two. This is not due to my capping of the line. When I originally went live back in 2015, I was able to achieve the full 55/10 and that was what I was provisioned on. I was later "uncapped" and I at one stage achieved 10.5Mb on the upstream.

Sorry for any confusion.

Of course, had read and registered that earlier, apologies, senior moment on my part !

Not sure on vectoring technology, is it aplicable to both DS and US or is that a silly question ?

Seems to work on both the upstream and the downstream.

I am convinced it's something to do with the power on the upstream but I've been told before it's not that.

Hi again @tiffy,

If the line resyncs with Re-Tx low and I remove the cap, won't DLM just reapply Re-Tx high when the FEC count increases again or have I misunderstood how it works?

From my personal experience no, certainly not immediatly, however, I have had high re-tx re-applied by DLM at a later date when my line FEC error rate (and whatever else DLM monitors with respect to re-tx profile) increases again.

As to the time scale for re-tx profile changing either way, lots of different opinions on that but not aware of any conclusive proof on this particular aspect of DLM logistics.

Upstream is strictly 6dB.

Ah, that's a shame. I remain bemused why my upstream has dropped over the last few years then :no:

Purely from long term observation and stats recording of my line and the 2 family VDSL FTTC lines I monitor, don't think there is much you can do to encourage DLM to increase your US synch speed provided there are not excessive error rates present.

Have never seen US BRAS IP profile indicate anything other than max contractual speed on the 3 lines I monitor.
Have seen US G.Inp very infrequently applied to all 3 lines, in all cases appeared to be as a result of substantial and prolonged increase of US ES rates which the US G.Inp application of course immediately mitigated resulting in US G.Inp removal again by DLM usually within 2 to 3 days.
In all cases, the US "noise " source had by that time abated and US G.Inp remained off.
If the US noise had continued I would imagine the cycle would have continued as US G.Inp is not applied by DLM by default.

No idea if there is a high/low US G.Inp profile as such as the US BRAS profile never seems to change from max contractual speed.

My line has always DS synch'ed at max rate achievable on the rather long (26.6 dB DS attenuation) line with a very low ES rate, in my case approx 5.40 Mbps on 40/10 provision.

Probably not directly relevant to your situation but you may find of interest.
I had a line issue in April which only effected my US synch speed, the rather long and detailed saga is here:
https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,24606.msg413899.html#msg413899

Does indicate how line noise can effect particular areas of the band spectrum and not others.
The issue was resolved no thanks to my ISP and thankfully has never returned to date.

Alex Atkin UK has already commented on DLM US SNRM philosophy.

I'm sure it doesn't necessarily carry across to different line lengths and technology, but when I was on ADSL2+ I used to be able to tweak downstream manually to 3dB and it was rock-solid stable as broadband wasn't nearly as popular back then.

However, if I tried to reduce the upstream SNRm from 6dB the line would drop all the time.  I think upstream inherently needs a wider margin for stability as its allowed a lot less power and being a smaller number of frequencies has less spare capacity at any given time.

I'm not really sure how SNRm is calculated, given every frequency has its own bitloading potential but I would not be surprised if upstream and downstream are simply not comparable in how much spare capacity is REALLY available.

Thanks all for your comments, I've lived with the 8Mb upload for this long so looks like it will stay that way, just more curious as to why I've lost 2Mb since 2015. Oh well

With that low level of DS FEC rate the desired effect should eventually come to pass, be patient, don't re-synch, let DLM run it's course.

From your latest stats, the other G.Inp factors which some believe may effect re-tx profile selection, G.Inp LEFTRS and rtx_uc certainly look healthy.

Sorry can't be of more help with the decreasing US synch speed situation, DLM can be a bit of a mistery!

I think I am right in saying that a few have seen DLM changes after four days of connection, we will see what happens tomorrow morning.

I don't think you will be getting retx low. Everyone else who has managed to force it (myself included), didn't have vectoring.
As you have vectoring, the DLM is likely more complex...  ???

I'll give it until 14 days and then if no change I'll give up. Thanks @underzone.

"underzone" could well be correct, vectoring is unfortunately very rare across the OR Huawei estate (non existant on ECI DSLAM's), as such no one is quite sure of the logistical effect on DLM operation.

However, my line did take 14 days as reported earlier to revert to G.Inp re-tx low profile so wise to wait a bit longer.

12 days and still no change, two more days and then I'm giving up

Yes, looks like you are either set to beat my 14 day record or it's not going to happen!
Could be an unknown vectoring factor as mentioned earlier, another one of the mysteries of DLM?

Obviously does not work with lines that have vectoring.

Indeed, in lieu of any available definitive information on the detailed working of DLM that's the most likely conclusion.

On the bright side, your line is one of the very, very few with FTTC vectoring applied which is now very unlikely to change with FTTP roll out, given the hypothetical choice of vectoring or G.Inp re-tx low profile I know which option I would choose, the minimal decrease of BRAS IP profile resulting from re-tx high profile is a small price to pay for a much reduced likelyhood of considerable loss of DS synch speed which is experienced by virtually all VDSL FTTC subscribers due to cross talk.

There are a few cases of it in the wild, @GigabitEthernet's line being one of those. I don't think we know why they were chosen though.

It's a BDUK line with a lot of properties quite a long way from the cabinet, I assume it's there to try and reach the 30Mbps target as often as possible.

Pretty sure its exclusive to BDUK funded cabinets.

So I got my 92.64% IP profile back.

Switched to a BT Hub a few months ago and it's been sitting there quietly, usually being up for 14 days at a time. Just recently switched to the newer model and about a week later I'm back on the 92.64% IP profile.

I haven't capped the profile or anything - can't do that on a BT Hub - and I was never successful on any other modems in the past, so possible the BT Hub is just less error-prone on my line? I have vectoring if you will recall.

Hmm, apparently it's 92.64% for reTx high but I was definitely at about 88% before, not sure what's happened there?
