Are there any graphs of the retransmissions rather than FEC? It would make much more sense if it were the retransmissions causing the increased latency, not FEC.

Well, the CRC is handy (attached, I hope), though not very dramatic.  That corrects 1-bit errors doesn't it?
Is there some graph in dslstats that directly shows retransmissions?

CRCs are detected errors that have not been corrected.

G.INP tab, rtx_tx
rtx_uc and LEFTERS would also be interesting.

DslStats doesn't save any of these.

The G.INP tab only appears if enabled on the line.

I certainly have a G.INP tab. Unfortunately, dslstats has a gap from 20:30->08.50 (for the first time ever!),
making the graphs a bit rubbish. I aim to post them when they fill up again.

In the meantime, here is the "Data Summary"
Code: [Select]
Downstream Upstream
General
rtx_tx          132012362        0               
rtx_c            72139756        0               
rtx_uc          14228            0               
LEFTRS          1467760          0               
minEFTR          79999            0               
errFreeBits      3436881935      0

Other data, copied from the bottom of the dslstats window is:

Concerning retransmissions, my graphs have filled up again.

rtx_tx is attached
LEFTRS isn't because it seems to be almost identical. Likewise rtx_c. (Can this be right??)
rtx_uc isn't because it's just 0 along the x axis!

I forgot to mention that clicking the camera/snapshot button on rtx-tx, rtx-c and LEFTERS all return the same rtx-tx graph.
I don't know if rtx_uc works right as my graph is empty.

rtx_uc is correct.

I just learnt something new and that you can rewind in the graph and take a manual snapshot.
Scrolling back to a single rtx_uc a couple days ago it captures the correct graph.


Auto snapshots don't work on any of the G.INP tabs.

You would need to screenshot the actual DslStats app unfortunately.

For reference, have checked this on my RPi's/DSLStats by taking manually snapshots and comparing:
rtx-tx and rtx-c (snapshots v live DSLStats) do appear to be very similar if not identical, surely that's the objective of re-transmission (G.Inp), all or most of the rtx-tx errors corrected, under perfect conditions graphs identical, should always be difficult to tell the difference.

LEFTRS snapshot definately appears incorrect, looks like rtx-tx & rtx-c DSLStats displays as you have said.

rtx-uc snapshot would appear to produce the correct image by comparison to live DSLStats display.

Looking again rtx_tx and rtx_c do display the correct manually taken snapshots.
They differ slightly, as they should.

The LEFTERS manual snapshot definitely shows rtx_tx.

I never look at the OHFErr and RSCorr (bearer 1) G.INP tabs so no idea if their manual snapshots are correct.
Looking back at previous Telnet Data captures I have never had any of either, always 0

Many thanks for the warnings about the camera icon.

Looking carefully through my dslstats pages (over realVNC, and via the webserver), it seems to be in a right pickle.
Some pages are stuck at 22 Jan, some are up to date. 

My  RSCorr (bearer 1) looks like it contains something (about 3 a minute), but it's 2 days old.

I'll have to investigate my configuration properly. Maybe restart dslstats, even reboot the pi.

Solid information, if any, will be some time ...

Not aware of this feature either, good spot, thanks for sharing, just hold left mouse button and scroll.
Noted that graph returns to current time at the next auto sample.

I recently upgraded my wireless router to a beefier device, and this has coincided with the packet loss disappearing from my BQM.

(I've retired an ASUS RT-N66U, generally considered obsolete, running RT-N66U_3.0.0.4_374.43_2-38L3j9527.zip.
Great wifi though. I now have another ASUS, a RT-AC86U, running Merlin's RT-AC86U_384.10_2.zip.)

My hunch is that the packet loss was in large part because I've a pi 3b+ running dslstats connected via the router by ethernet to
my Zyxel VMG1312-B10a modem, basically hammering the poor little router every minute or so.
(I have changed my mind about this more than once.) Another factors are the enormous amount of network rubbish that
some devices in my house generate. However, assiduously turning the bloody things off diminished the packet loss
by only a wee bit.  Yes, I've actually got no convincing proof of my suspicions, but my BQM looks red-free now.

Is the pi storing the dslstats data locally or uploading to another device on the LAN (or elsewhere)?

Is the "network rubbish" LAN or WAN traffic? If it's LAN and the devices are wired get a cheap unmanaged Ethernet switch, plug that in to the router and all wired devices in to the switch - that will take the traffic away from the router.

Locally, on a usb stick.
