UDP issues on SuperHub3 - collective thread
Hi. I decided to open a collective thread for UDP issues on SuperHub3, as it seems that many users are pestered by them, the impact is high and Virgin Media is not aware or fails to acknowledge the i...

From what I have observed this seems to affect Pfsense of OPNsense more than other DD-WRT or open FW based routers.
Something could be clashing with a driver, BSD or one of the modules, i know that I've never had the issue with a DD-WRT modem and didn't have it until about March of last year when the SH£ FW was rolled out to fix the Wi-Fi issue, since then I have nothing but latency and lag throughout the day on a seemingly idle, top tier broadband package.
For clarity this ONLY affects the WAN and not the LAN
After some more testing I've found that Bittorrent does overload the SH3 if I'm downloading several torrents with large number of seeds and peers with uTP enabled. As with the pathological DNS test (described a few posts up), the problem only happens when several thousand UDP connections are opened in a short period of time.
Disabling uTP in the Bittorrent client prevents the problem from happening.
I think I can put up with this until CityFibre complete their rollout in my area.
- Yup the SH3 is awful and not fit for purpose, even in modem only mode, at least the SH2 worked in modem mode. It can't cope with qbittorrent as soon as you have uTP and DHT enabled you lose connection every few moments....turn off DHT and it happens less, but still happens. It still even happens sometimes with TCP only, but not as often thankfully. This is regardless of whether I set connections to 20 or 20000
