As noted elsewhere, fq_codel is now the default qos system in openwrt as of build 31761 http://buildbot.openwrt.org:8010/one_line_per_build 37 arches, 150 platforms, no waiting. There are still a few patches left to land, and it doesn't turn it on on the wireless or ethernet by default, although it should definitely do so, in the case of the latter, and well, it helps a bit on wireless, too, although major surgery on the stack remains to get it right. And codel + QFQ remains interesting. I look forward to hearing about your results. > =A0- Jonathan Morton > --=20 Dave T=E4ht SKYPE: davetaht US Tel: 1-239-829-5608 http://www.bufferbloat.net
