[LEDE-DEV] MT7621: EdgerouterX

[Milan Kočvara]

Until LEDE will work with one CPU, I think changing buffers is 
irrelevant. But maybe Im wrong. Could you be, please, more specific, 
what do you mean "wattermarks" and buffers?

I think buffer increase helps, if the traffic is for the router. So if 
I will do test from/to router. But I did test trough the router /router 
does just forward these packets./. I have disabled firewall, unloaded 
all modules for conntrack... and to one Interface is the generator 
connected and to other is the reflector connected.

Thanks Milan
