[Cerowrt-devel] Linksys wrt1900acs rrul traces

[Aaron Wood]

These are really impressive results (flent graphs attached for the "simple"
operation).

Especially so, considering to what I see with sqm_scripts on the same
hardware with CCrc3:

Is this stable enough for full-time usage (as a home router)?
