May be of interest to some of you on the list: <http://blog.mycre.ws/articles/cable-modems-arris-sb6190-vs-netgear-cm600/>
Some points for a summarization: * author did not measure Bufferbloat * made a note about difference in latency * measurements done w. SmokePing * measurements against ISP's recursive DNS server (as target doubtful, may have heavy traffic shaping/limiting) * the author's premise to hw was to exclude integrated router or AP function in the modem (I like) * and support 24 downstream channels at least * hw1: Arris SB6190 with a Linux system and source available * hw2: Netgear CM600 with an eCos system and older fw source available * Arris got into problems after a few days of operation * further hw info nicely linked * the author hints the ISP manages the cable modem fw * the author chose to go on with Netgear * gives a view of status of the cable modem availability and quality w. a certain hw criteria The author could be hinted to use either Flent (against netperf.bufferbloat.net) or Speedtest of DSLReports. - Erkki _______________________________________________ Cerowrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/cerowrt-devel
