[Cerowrt-devel] preliminary codel and fq_codel support for cerowrt

[Sebastian Moeller]

Hi Dave,

so I upgraded my router to the most recent version, and hey I am really impressed, thanks a lot for all the work. 
(I never really stress the local network, and the internet is 5/30 so I consider to be on the safe side of #379 and decided to ignore your recommendation about the suitability for main routers). 
	I tried the simple_qos.sh script and for my testing it is quite nice indeed. The whole network stays quite responsive even during abuse. The whole expeience was quite pleasant (using ssh over a ssl based VPN to remote control an X11 session while stressing in and out direction); counter to my subjective experience though netalyzr was detecting 3000 odd milliseconds of buffering upstream (downstream was fine). Once I find more time I will have a go at reproducing that. (Now I have to figure out whether I need to restart simple_qos.sh anytime I down or up an interface; any pointer?) BTW, how do you envision this to be started under the AQM tab; shall this start simple_qos or rather debloat?
Small observation, port 81 on the router seems open to the internet, easily fixed, but maybe something you might want know :)


Anyway, thanks again
	Sebastian
