Folks,

I was running OpenWrt 19.07-rc2 on my Archer C7v2, and experienced a 
potentially-repeatable crash under heavy network traffic load.

I was uploading several long videos to Youtube (> 5GBytes each) and watching 
Netflix on my 7mbps/768kbps DSL connection. Things were working fine (latency 
remained acceptable - YAY SQM!) My upstream pipe (slow as it is) was totally 
filled by the three competing uploads, and Netflix was doing its best to show 
me the West Wing.

A couple times during the evening, the Netflix stream just crapped out and I 
lost the connection. (Infinite buffering message on-screen, couldn't get to 
Google, etc. The LuCI GUI showed uptime of a minute or so, and then things were 
fine again.)

I now have OpenWrt 19.07.1 installed, and have a little bandwidth for repeating 
the experiment.

What debugging information should I turn on/look for in case this happens 
again? Thanks.

Rich

PS The new Youtube uploader facility is excellent. If you keep the window open, 
it automagically resumes the transfer after interruption. It's great for people 
like me who have large files to upload on a slow link, where the likelihood of 
a link failure (or needing to move my laptop to a different location) is high.
