I know for a fact that this box (WRT1200AC) did gigabit at MSS=400 one-way
using fq_codel/cake before. I tested it a lot back then. Right now, I am
using it as a 250/100 megabit/s machine, and it seems to spend a lot CPU
doing that.
I did some new tests. Now I can't reproduce the problem.
I installed 18.06.1 and it'll do single TCP flow MSS 200 (-M 200 in
iperf3) at 550 megabit/s shown in iperf3, and 87% sirq shown in top on
WRT1200AC. When I set in/out speed at 800M and enable cake/layer_cake.qos
then performance drops to ~400 megabit/s with the same packet flow. So the
performance degradation is only around 20%, which I think is perfectly
acceptable. I get very similar results with fq_codel and simple.qos.
I also took some power meter readings, WRT1200AC idles as 9.2W and at full
CPU goes up to 10.4W.
