[Commotion-dev] Poor routed throughput eth1 -> eth0 on Bufallo NFiniti?

[Ben West]

Hi All,

I happen to still be running the OpenWrt trunk 26908 build for the Buffalo
WZR-HP-G301NH units doled out at last year's Commotion code sprint, and I
believe I may have just determined this is showing pretty poor routed
throughput (~10 to 15mbits) from its WAN port eth1 to the LAN ports eth0.

This unit is presently working as a gateway router for a bunch of UBNT M5
mesh nodes, and I was having a persistent problem with the nodes topping
out at around 6Mbit download speeds from the Internet (speedtest.net),
until I tried downloading a file stored locally on the Bullafo flash and
got 20-30Mbits throughput.

dmesg confirms that eth1 is negotiating at 100Mbit on boot up, and I've
confirmed I don't have a mis-configured qos script interfering with things.
 Hopefully this is just because I'm running an old-ish OpenWRT trunk.  Has
anyone else been able to confirm Buffalo Nfiniti will actually sustain
20Mbit+ from its WAN port to LAN ports, provided the WAN uplink is fast
enough?
