Hi, all,
I'm posting because of my recent frustration with the claim that
bufferbloat solutions have been "pushed up into the OpenWRT and
commercial routers.
I spent the bulk of last weekend trying to find a COTS WIFI router that
supported OpenWRT with bufferbloat (SQM) extensions.
I tried a Linksys WRT1200AC, and here's what I found:
- Kaloz's 23-Apr-2015 build installs fine and comes up
with a web server (LUCI), but does NOT include SQM
- trying to install the SQM packages fails
due to a kernel version incompatibility
(for a 23-Apr-2015 build?!)
- CC-rc2 doesn't have a WRT1200AC build
presumably I should have used mvebu-armada-385-linksys-caiman,
but it's not at all clear
- and I'd have to install LUCI and/or reinstall
factory firmware from the command line, and none
of that is all that clear, esp. a recovery route
that doesn't involve voiding warranty to wire in
a serial port
Given the "declared victory" (http://www.bufferbloat.net/news/53),
perhaps someone one one of these lists can explain why there's no clear
information on a current device that supports a current build that
actually supports these fixes?
I.e., if you were trying to make this obscure, you're doing a very good job.
FWIW.
Joe
