abc123 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 -Feature Request * Hardware NAT - may offer upto 800 Mbps throughput on WAN port - offload Network Address Translations to side chip I know this is asking a lot since a driver has to be written and a hardware NAT has to be in the router. openwrt has not supported hardware nat and might never will,if netduma get around this task then thats awesome Quote some Switches contain a functionality called "Hardware NAT"; support for this features has not yet been included into OpenWrt. Since the CPUs used in CPE Routers are relatively slow, expect 2 to 4 times performance gain if you were to use Hardware NAT, e.g. without hardware NAT some router could achieve 400Mbit/s at full CPU load, with hardware NAT it could achieve 900Mbit/s at full CPU load. OpenWrt developer is supposed to have said, that implementing HW-NAT support would be unacceptably hacky to accomplish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Yes this is going to be like at least 1-2 weeks of development time(including testing). So it won't be till main issues have been developed and features that are popular are developed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc123 Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 absolutely understand, this is very much like my dual processor wireless AC convo with you...if you can accomplish these things, this firmware will surpass the other by leaps and bounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
