[Bloat] Dual WAN home router with decent SQM?

[Dave Taht]

we invented "source specific routing", for ipv6, (now called SADR)
during the cerowrt project and it has been part of openwrt ever since.
Two or more ipv6 upstreams will distribute their /subnet to the
downstream. Regrettably, few protocols or end user applications
attempt to leverage these disparate address spaces, although multipath
tcp and quic have become more common.
