From firsthand experience: performance is in fact awesome on the edgerouters (4, 6, 8, and 12) using plain-vanilla Linux.
It's a big honking MIPS chip with firehose connections to the ethernet PHYs. Precisely the kind of device you want for a router.

- joshspankit 6y agoAwesome at what level? Are we talking DPI at 1Gbps symmetric?
- sigg3 6y agoPlease elaborate. What are the thruput measurements on OpenWRT when compared to ER-.. stock firmware, with hw accel or with DPI..? I have an ER-4 to be able to use the entire wan connection, but on stock firmware I must disable DPI to enable hw acceleration (otherwise the thruput floors). I don't use DPI atm, so no big loss. Can you utilize the hw accel in openWRT too?
