Hi Alec,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">A brief appearance from me whilst I have a spare few seconds.</div>

<div class="">Not stupid!</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">There’s an obvious question: Why are Billion still shipping buffer bloated devices? Have they been sent graphs/demos/logs of how their kit is faulty?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">To offer some hopefully constructive pointers: For FTTC service I’m guessing you’ll be using the Billion as a vdsl modem. Who’s the ISP? AFAIK anyone other than Sky will need to run PPPoE and hence hit the 1492 MTU restriction *unless* the
Billion supports mini jumbo frames on the ethernet side and the PPPoE MTU extension (the rfc number escapes the brain at the moment) Sky don’t use PPP and just run ethernet frames over PTM…..the way it should be. The incoming packets from ISP to you are
policed at something close to sync rate, this is part of the BT specification. The uplink of course can be as bloated as hell ;-)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I use an Archer C7 with BT’s equally horrendously bloated HG612 vdsl modem on a 40/10 link with sky as my isp. In terms of CPU usage it’s about 1% per megabit so a full 40/10 uses around 55% cpu, I think there’s enough for your 60/20…just. <a href="https://middling.me.uk/blog/2015/03/customising-openwrt-to-my-needs/" class="">https://middling.me.uk/blog/2015/03/customising-openwrt-to-my-needs/</a>
offers further advice which I found useful.</div>

Hi all,<br class="">
<font color="#0a51a1" class=""><br class="">
</font>I’ve been out of the bufferbloat game for a while and want to try and beat it once again.<br class="">
<font color="#0a51a1" class=""><br class="">
</font>I’ve got an FTTC connection (UK) which I get around 60Mbps on but with horrible bufferbloat on my Billion 8800NL. What router should I get that can run OpenWRT and handle this connection? Do the newest builds of OpenWRT have cake built-in now via sqm-scripts
or would I need to install this manually. If so, how would I do this?<br class="">
