One more thing I forgot to mention is that router traffic is fine so if I dnat to a host on the internal lan, performance is good.
So if it was bufferbloat it would affect all hosts

Hi Rich,
There is no traffic occurring when the latency is happening.
Also icmp requests do not have any latency and are consistently returning with minimal latency.
It's only occurring in apps such as a ssh server. So whilst I was pinging and getting good results, I ssh'd into the router and it was really sluggish, eg to scroll down a 200 line file in vi is a nightmare.
So I guess this isn't bufferbloat?
Thanks
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
(I feel like a one-trick pony here, but...) Could this be bufferbloat? Maybe not, but here's how to test:
Use the procedure for "A Quick Test for Bufferbloat" at https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/cerowrt/wiki/Tests_for_Bufferbloat/#a-quick-test-for-bufferbloat Watch to see if the ping times increase during download/uploads then drop back down.
If the ping times do increase, consider installing luci-app-sqm as suggested on https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/cerowrt/wiki/What_to_do_about_Bufferbloat/
Best regards,
Rich
