Right, but in that instance, the flow-rates are only 802.11 rates, and a wndr can keep up with that.  It's the sqm on the uplink/wan side that needs the processing power.  Or, it's time to do what Dave has mentioned and rewrite to get a faster implementation than htb.

 I started looking at the edgerouter LTE and related boxes again.

Does anyone else have one?

They have a new release based on 3.4 out; backporting fq_codel might work.

I don't have any numbers on it's performance however, and it does look like
updating it to 3.10 would be good idea.

Nice looking platform.

Cavium Octeon?  Looks like it's all in software, and not in offload modules?
