Cool. I note that the wndr3800 runs out of horsepower at about 50mbit/10.

The edgerouter (which has fq_codel in their 1.5 firmware release), doesn't.

(and it took 10 minutes to port the sqm-scripts over to it)
(and I haven't got around to booting an openwrt version on it, their firmware
 is 3.4 based)

That said I am seeing stuff that indicates inbound htb is increasingly
inaccurate on both products starting at about 20 mbit. (I had long
assumed before now that it was a cpu limitation as I don't see this on
x86) The 36mbit number you got matches mine, try increasing the rate
limit to 64mbits and see what happens.

Also, please measure the bloat you get on the openrg without sqm.... I
would hope the downstream bloat is less horrible than cable modems.

nifty. When I get a /29 from comcast I don't have that ability, I think.
did you do that via proxy arp, or did they give you an ipv4 gateway
and routed the /28 ?

regrettably how pppoe works is a mystery to me. I'd nuke the @ge00 and
try creating the pppoe interface from the gui for a start.

Well there are other hard limits - for example ifb's number is created by
a line in /etc/modules.d/ (ifb numifbs=0)

You definately aren't a typical user.

Hit #openwrt-devel for questions - netifd is a rather complex state machine.
