Heh. I didn't know. Can you share some of your typical SQM settings
for various services and
bandwidths? In particular the DSL compensation code was always kind of hairy.
I'd also like to note that ubnt's gear was a frequent target for the
cerowrt effort, notably the pico and nanostations are extensively in
play in the largest testbed.
I think highly of their default firmware, but it lacks ipv6, routing
support, and bufferbloat fixes. Their AirOS qos system is quite good,
being fq-based, but didn't have aqm-ish facilities, and so far as I
know (in their AirFiber product) they just poured the fq portion of
all that into the FPGA, and didn't do much to manage queue length.
A netperf-wrapper rrul (latency with load) result on one of the
airfiber boxes in rain and outside of it would be interesting.

Have no brick here at all. oops.
