                    Notes
========================

1. Pawcio Bandwidth Control (Tag: "Pawcio: BC") - tab "Bandwidht Control" in Preferences.
Completly new upload/download system based on Maella (50 ms, packets splitting), ZZ (USS), and own ideas (DSS, ...) .
-->A. Special algorithm for minimaliziation of opened slots (as an option: can be turn on/off by "Minimize number of opened slots" option)
-->B. Bandwidth Setting in 0.1 kB increaments (Maella idea)
-->C. Simplified options for USS and DSS(now you have to choose only the minimal upload/download and decide how much eMule should use your bandwidth - slider - no more need of % of lowest ping)
-->D. Advanced option for USS and DSS (you can exactly choose what max ping should be and which server to ping)
-->E. Auto managment of Max Connections and Max Connections per 5 second. If you set them too high BC can detect this(auto managment can be turn on/off by Manage of active connections)
Info: BC changes only too high settings (when managment is turned on), if they are resonable, they won't be changed
---> F. Pinging through UDP thanks to Dong, so if your ISP is blocking ICMP traffic you can select "UDP Ping" in "Bandwidth control" tab and it should work (you need to open UDP outgoing port (default 33434) and have administrative right in Windows NT and XP pro). If UDP sending can't be used BC will automatically move on ICMP version.
-->G. Possibility of "catching" whole eMule upstream/downstream within specified limits:
-->--> I: eMule protocol, IP, TCP, UDP header overhead (option "Include Overhead")
-->--> II: TCP connection negotiations (option "Include connections overhead") - empiric calculations
-->--> III: TCP acknowledge packets (option "Include TCP Ack") - empiric (doesn't not take account of RWIN size - only 2.5% of stream)
-->H. Cumulate upload bandwidth to certain slots (as an option - "Cumulate Bandwitdth for upload slots") - idea of ZZ:SlotFocus
-->I. "Session up 1:4 limit" from Morph Next.
-->J. Status of USS and DSS (working, preparing, etc) and all limits (up, down) can be seen on Bandwidth Control Tab (you can enter any value in Connection tab but limits of ratio are preserved, you can see them on Status on Bandwidth Control Tab)
-->K. There is new type of clients: Clients on reserved upload list (ready in any time to start upload):
-->--> - when "Minimize number of opened slots" is not selected, reserved client is added when client on upload queue is just ending its session (so reserved client is able to prepare before taking the freed slot - no delays)
-->--> - when "Minimize number of opened slots" is selected, there is quantified number of reserved clients (algorithm in CUploadQueue::AcceptToReserve)
-->--> - when "Cumulate Bandwidth for upload slots" is selected, reserved clients are very similar to Trickle Slots in ZZUL (so there is rotation between upload queue and reserved upload queue)
-->L. Blue lines added to graphs (in Statistic Window) showing whole current upload and download (with whole overhead)

Info:
When "Include connection overhead" is selected you have to set minimum 11kB/s (instead of 10kB/s) for upload limit to have unlimited download, and minimum 3.5 kB/s (instead of 3kB/s) to have 4x ratio.
When "Include TCP Ack" is selected Session up ratio (ZZ:RATIO from MorphNext) is forced. All limits you can see on Status - Bandwidth Control.

Short guide (recommended settings):
USS/DSS Group:
- deselect "Max ping allowed"
- URL to ping - select Auto
- select options: "Minimize number of opened slots", "Cumulate bandiwidth...", "Include overhead", "Manage of active connections", "Include connection overhead".
- use slider (above "Max ping allowed" or on TrayMenu) to find best surfing experience.

Limits in USS group:
1. for T-DSL 768/128 (mostly Germany)
- Min upload - 11
- Max upload - 16
- deselect "Session up limit" and "Include TCP Ack packets"

2. for T-DSL 1536/256 (mostly Germany)
Min upload - 14
Max upload - 30
- deselect "Session up limit" and "Include TCP Ack packets"

3. for 512/128 (mostly France, Poland)
Min upload - 8
Max upload - 15
- select "Session up limit" and "Include TCP Ack packets"

Description of "Bandwidth Control" tab:
USS (Upload Speed Sense) Group:
USS (work of ZZ  ) and DSS dynamically finds current, best upload/downlaod rate from the range of "Min upload/download in kB/s" and "Max upload/download in kB/s". "Max upload/download in kB/s" can be found automatically by selecting "Auto" box. USS/DSS lower the upload/download when other applications are using your connection or when mule is downloading very fast (lowering upload - important for ADSL user when download can be limited by upload). The key of USS/DSS to work is pinging a host. SS can find the proper host to ping for you (just select "Auto" box, on the right of "URL/IP to ping:" input box). If searching fails (very rearly) it uses host given in "URL/IP to ping". If you know which host to ping
unselect "Auto" box and input own address. By pinging, USS/DSS gets replies from host and on this basis it knows what to do (increase or decrease current upload/download). USS/DSS has to have a value to comapre with received respons from host, this value is "Max ping allowed". It would be the best if you could know what is proper ping for your connection (if you know, then select "Max ping allowed" box and input it). If you don't know, do not select "Max ping allowed" box, instead use intuitive slider above (it will find the proper ping for on the base of lowest ping calculated during preparation of USS/DSS). When you move slider on the left upload/download will be lower but you can surf the net easily, on the right - opposite behaviour.

Minimize number of opened slots - when this option is selected eMule will open less slots than original if it is possible (if less users can take more bandwidth). It means that the chunks will arrive faster to users.

Cumulate bandwidth for upload slots (idea of ZZ: Slot Focus - but a bit diffrent) - when this option is not selected eMule tries to upload to all users on upload queue with the same speed. Selecting this option is causing that eMule always upload to one user (Priority client - no matter wheter he has slow or fast connection) and then rest bandwidth gives for the fastest users (faster spread of chunks). Priority client is always client which was first on upload queue (stayed the longest), thanks to this for every client ("fast", "slow") will be a turn to get data.

Session up limit (1:4) (idea of ZZ, changed by MorphNext) - instead of 1:3 and 1:4 ratio for download (or unlimited when upload higher than 10) there is limit 1:4 for session. As long as you have downloaded less than 4 times the amount you uploaded (or you are uploading higher than 10kB/s) the limit of download is the same as value entered in "Connection tab" (so it can be unlimited). When you have downloaded more - the download is limited to preserve 1:4 session ratio.

Include overhead - eMule upload not only file data. It comunicates with other users (queue ranks, names of files, hashes, etc), server. If you want this upload/download can be included within limits defined in "Connection" tab or USS/DSS.

Manage of active connection - when this option is selected and you have too high values of "Max connections" and "Max connections per 5 sec for your connection, they will be adjusted automatically when needed.

Include connection overhead - not only eMule communicates between users, system and network layer also (on diffrent level). This system communication can take a lot of bandwidth especially when sorces are loaded (SLS system, or a file with a lot sources from server). It's almost impossible to calculate this overhead exactly, but an approximate is acceptable. You can include this overhead within upload/download limits (USS/DSS or "Connection tab"). Keep in mind that to have the unlimited download or 1:4 ratio with this option selected the limits for upload were chaned:
- unlimited download needs minimum 11kB/s upload instead of 10
- 1:4 ratio needs minimum 3.5 kB/s upload instead of 3

Include TCP Ack Packets - every data received needs to be acknowledged (it is TCP ACK packet), so it's generating upstream. The amount of overhead is hardly to calculate exactly, it depends on many settings (e.g RWIN). But as with "Include connection overhead" some approximation can be done (64kB/s downstream needs circa 1.5kB/s upstream). You can include this overhead within upload limits but then Session up limit (1:4) is enforced.

Status Group:
Here you can see what's happening with USS/DSS, what are the limits of download (limited by settings described above - so you don't have to calculate them) and what host is pinged. USS/DSS can be Disabled / Preparing / Succesfull / Failed.

The program is optimized for win98 and me.

PS: Please remember that this is a alpha version. If you have trouble please disconnect from Kademlia and uncheck the box in preferences. Thank You!

Have Fun!

The program is optimized for win98 and me.

Kind Regards, Stormit.

As Always a Big Thanks Go Out to the Dev's Ornis+ / Bluecow / Unknown1 / - Thank You.

Note: For Winme or Win98.

Registry patches do not work if your system can not handle the load. 

Max Connections: 100 is standard microsoft OS max. Yours should be less. 

Hard limit should be no higher than: 300

Max newonnections for 5sec. should be: 5

If any of these settings are exceeded your system may crash. 

Note:  Important Information:
As your Known.met file grows so will the memory use. But if you remove it all of your files will rehash.

If you do not have alot of shared files remove or rename the Known.met file and check the memory use then, but remember it will climb with the size of the file.

Klingt gut - nachdem es stormit anscheinend gelungen ist den Pawcio vom IE 6 Zwang zu befreien, werde ich nun nach dem Pawcio auch diese Version von ihm testen.

Hoffentlich kommt da nicht auch alle "paar Minuten" wieder eine neuere Version raus!

[Pathfinder]

Nach einigen Testversionen jetzt wieder eine "Final": eMule 0.42g Stormit-v27xlt.

Leider setzt sie wieder den IE6 voraus.

[cosmic girl]

Tatsache - die v26xlt läuft und die v27xlt crashed - hab leider erst nach dem Crashen mal genauer hingeschaut, was Stormit da in seinem bunten unübersichtlichen Kuddelmuddel thread auf eMule-Project von sich gegeben hat..

Dachte, er konnte den IE 6 Zwang endgültig beseitigen, aber irgendein dämliches neu eingebautes Feature scheint den nun wieder zu brauchen.
Damit ist die neuere Version also für mich und auch für viele andere IE 6 Verweigerer tabu.

[winki2099]

der stormit v26 sowie der pawcio 4.25d se haben trotz versuchsweises update auf ie6 +sp erhebliche probleme mit dem upload nach der zwangstrennung. der upload bleibt bei 0,0 und die queue wird nur so durchgerattert. selbiges phänomen habe ich beobachtet, wenn ich den upload von 12kb auf 6kb ändere, um auf meine homepage upzuloaden. der download sowie der upload brechen ein auf 0,0kb und fangen sich nicht mehr. leider ist das bei mir reproduzierbar, dabei reicht es schon, wenn ich den upload von 12 auf 11kb ändere.
da jetzt wieder der ie6 vorausgesetzt wird, schliesse ich mich cosmic girl an. ich werde den stormit v27 nicht mehr testen, ausserdem bezweifle ich, dass diese version besser als die v26 läuft bezüglich des uploadverhaltens.

meiner bescheidenen meinung nach wird in letzter zeit in den verschiedenen mods irgendwie zuviel verschlimmbessert. die meldungen über 0,0kb downloads häufen sich (downloads, die kurzzeitig beginnen und doch nicht weitergeführt werden), auch der upload macht in verschiedenen versionen immer häufiger probleme. ich denke, da wird etwas zuviel des guten "gedeichselt".

[Furio]

@ winki20998: Hast Du auch eine "clean install" gemacht? Stormit sagt, dass bei Nichtbefolgung dieser, die Probleme schon losgehen.
Ich werde das jetzt auch mal auf meinem XP-System mit IE6 testen.

Edit: Hm, ist ja sogar eine "A clean install is a must"-Datei beinhaltet. Dann wird'S wohl daran nicht liegen. Naja, ich werde berichten, wie er bei mir läuft.

[winki2099]

ja, es war ein "clean install". mir fällt aber auf, dass er läuft, wenn uss angeschaltet ist. nur habe ich dann probleme mit dem upload auf meine homepage in der form, dass ein ftp-upload nicht abgeschlossen wird, d.h. ich muss den upload etwas drosseln. ich hab ja kein problem damit, dass der download dann gedrosselt wird, aber dass er dann sämtliche up- and downloads abbricht, finde ich doch etwas seltsam.
ich werde doch wieder zur original version zurückkehren. da fehlen zwar diverse einstellmöglichkeiten, aber da gibts dann diese probleme nicht.

[cosmic girl]

Weitere Probleme mit USS habe ich beobachtet:
http://www.emule-web.de/board/viewto...=108223#108223

Die von winki beschriebenen Probleme mit USS und nicht wieder Aufnehmen des UL nach der ZT habe ich jedoch noch nie gehabt.
Dabei haben winki und ich ja beide Win2k - ich halt mit SP2 noch..

Alles sehr merkwürdig.

[winki2099]

Zitat von cosmic girl

Die von winki beschriebenen Probleme mit USS und nicht wieder Aufnehmen des UL nach der ZT habe ich jedoch noch nie gehabt.

ja seltsamerweise hat er mit eingeschaltetem uss bisher keine probleme mit der zwangstrennung. sobald aber das uss ausgeschaltet ist, übersteht er kaum eine zt. leider ist das ganze reproduzierbar bei mir sowohl mit dem stormit als auch mit dem pawcio. meiner meinung nach ist da etwas nicht ganz ausgereift.
weiterhin frage ich mich, warum diese beiden mods die downloads abbrechen, sobald der upload (wie von cosmic bereits in einem anderen thread festgestellt und beschrieben wurde) nur um 1k geändert wird.
auch der sivka macht beim upload ztw. erhebliche probleme, wie in dessen thread ja zu lessen ist.
nene, da wird irgendwas immer fauler. entweder werden spezielle funktionen von windows xp genommen und win2k bleibt langsam aussen vor oder da wurde generell etwas "verpfuscht". aus meiner sicht gehört mittlerweile nicht nur der drogen-emule auf die index-liste, sondern auch noch ein paar andere.

[Furio]

So, habe ihn jetzt mal 6 Stunden am Stück laufen lassen, deshalb auch keine Berichte über Ratio o.ä.

Feststellen lässt sich bei mir, dass das BC fantastisch funktioniert, was das Ausnutzen der Bandbreite anbelangt. Meiner Ansicht sollte das von anderen Moddern mal untersucht und evtl. ünernommen werden! Leider minimiert der Stormit die UL-Slots nicht.

Es gibt auch keine Einbrüche beim DL, wenn ich was veränder. ZT habe ich natürlich nicht testen können bei 6 Stunden.

Leider funktioniert der Quickstart nicht, die Quellen werden bei aktiviertem Feature nicht zügig abgefragt (Verbindungen gehen nicht hoch) und der UL bleibt bei 0,5 hängen (letztere ist wohl i.O.).

[cosmic girl]

Zitat von Furio

Leider minimiert der Stormit die UL-Slots nicht.

Wenn du das entsprechende feature aktivierst, dann sollte er das schon tun - sind zwei Schalter, die man in versch. Kombinationen nutzen kann - ausprobieren..

Zitat von Furio

Es gibt auch keine Einbrüche beim DL, wenn ich was veränder. ZT habe ich natürlich nicht testen können bei 6 Stunden.

Nach 6 h passiert das hier mit den Einbrüchen auch noch nicht.. um aussagekräftige Testberichte zu liefern, sollte ein Mod schon mal mind. 24 h laufen.

[Furio]

Update auf xlt3

Weiterhin erforderlich sind IE 6.x SP 1 sowie Neuinstallation des Mods!

[Pathfinder]

Update auf eMule 0.42g Stormit-v27xlt4.

[Pathfinder]

Update auf eMule 0.42g Stormit-v27xlt5

[cosmic girl]

Seit der Mod wieder IE 6 voraussetzt, scheint sich keiner mehr dafür zu interessieren.

Echt schade, denn die letzte Version ohne den IE 6 Zwang lief bei mir lange, weil sehr schön.
Pawcio BC - USS ist das einzige, das meinen UL wirklich voll ausnutzt.
