I don't think any devices supported by OpenWRT, DD-WRT, VyOS, pfSense, etc support hardware-accelerated routing with QoS. If you know of one, let me know! It is not always clear, but enabling QoS usually disables hardware offloading, for example with Ubiquiti devices[1] "Traffic to which QoS policies have been applied cannot also take advantage of the EdgeRouter's Offloading feature". The same is true for open source even with binary blobs. The chips simply can't do it. Using QoS and implicitly disabling hardware offloading significantly drops the throughput as it becomes CPU bound. "Without offloading enabled, IPv4 traffic will be routed via the CPU and will be limited to around 300Mbps on the EdgeRouter Lite (ERLite-3). With offloading enabled, the throughput will be about 950Mbps." [1] [1] https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/115006567467 https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/115006567467
