It does inbound/outbound shaping on our 100/15Mbit link and when I slam the link with netperf-wrapper top tells me the cpu is about 30% used. I don't have any log files but when I tested this box in-line on a GigE network I seem to remember it being able to do far above 100Mbit but I don't remember how much more. It's running a custom build of BB. Custom because the dual GigE network chipset is not recognised by by openwrt BB and I had make a small patch to fix that but every thing else is stock BB. QOS is qos-scripts scripts and not a version of sqm-scripts. When I got it all going I didn't full recognize that all the sqm stuff was not in qos-scripts. It works and currently meets our needs so I've not felt much need to mess with it. It has a PCI-E x1 slot so you could add a wireless adapter. Sadly its out of stock now but there are probably plenty more options if we started looking for them. -- Richard A. Smith
