Excellent. I'd *really* like to get some testers doing ingress shaping at above 60-80mbits, which seems to be a brick wall we've hit on the ar71xx and octeon, on other platforms like the arm and x86.
I can do ingress shaping tests at above 80mbits at work since we now have a 100mbit downlink, but I don't have cerowrt hardware that runs fast enough to keep up. Also I would only be able to do them on the weekend or late at night when no one else is in the office when I can swap out the router. I can't leave experimental setups alone running our office link.
FYI: I've purchased a Nighthawk x6 for some testing. I did x6 even though its CPU speed is slower than the x4 because I want to see if the twin 5Ghz radios and the promise of automatic load balancing helps on the wireless side (we have a lot of 5Ghz wireless clients) If it doesn't hold up as a router we may still use it as just an AP.
Like you mentioned the stock firmware is not the greatest and there's no actual bandwidth control settings. Hopefully openwrt support will show up soon.
My initial tests with Gbit pipes on either side are certainly impressive as it can route at over 900 Mbs while keeping latency at 12ms or lower. Tonight I'm planning on testing it with my home Comcast cable link and see if the low-latency holds.
