xwrt - it's a bundle of openwrt + a web gui, and its really open source. qos is a learning experience as TMTOWDI.
dd-wrt is a decent product - but it doesn't play nice with releasing USABLE concise source and build scripts. ( I think I tried to dl the source tree and got incredibly pissed off at 1.5GB) - you'll never be able to quickly modify dd-wrt, and good luck finding community support. As I said before - run 1 h/w and 2 KVM instances of xwrt and love them. -Adrian On Sun, Sep 26, 2010 at 5:09 PM, Grant <[email protected]> wrote: >>>> Thank you, how is qos-scripts?
