Hi group
Watching Dave's presentation via video link was the catalyst for me getting one and trying it out on a UFB link! It runs my home workshop now and I have to say I'm very impressed with the effect the queueing has on latency-sensitive traffic. I also find the realtime graphing of link throughput a useful tool too.
I did run into some trouble getting my particular router to tag the outbound traffic for VLAN 10 and I ended up using a separate switch to achieve that for now, but I think that may have just been some sort of hardware-specific bug or issue with the model I used (a TP-LINK C5 'AC1200' unit). Some R&D testing of different models would find a winner fairly quickly I'm sure; the software runs on a huge range of kit!
I think there is a huge amount of potential for great UFB CPEs here, even if adopted by individual ISPs. All that is needed is some good R&D hardware testing and securing a reliable supply-chain of a reasonable model hardware at a good price.
Just my 2c...
Pete
Ps, well done with your efforts Dave, my uplink likes your style :)
There was interest, but unfortunately shortly after my presentation, a bunch of things started happening at $dayjob which left me little spare time...
I'm still keen to help in this space, I'm just not sure how much time I can commit to it.
Thanks,
Jed.
I am curious if the NZWrt idea ever got any traction? It certainly
seemed saner for me for a set of ISPs to agree on one specific
hardware type, get software that met their needs, make it stable as
heck, and to maintain it themselves....
