 1) We need a new box that can do inbound shaping at up to 300mbit.
So far
that box has not appeared. We have not explored policing as an

If you are using a x86 processor, how much cpu does this take?


diddly.

this isn't sold as an AP, it's a bit pricy, but not insanely expensive
($200-250 depending on options)

1GHz dual core AMD cpu, 4G  1066RAM 2 mini PCIe 3xGid-E

I'm currently running the following as the Gateway/DNS/DHCP for the mid level startup (40 people) I work for.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856205007

I added 4gigs of ram and the cheapest SSD I could find.

It does inbound/outbound shaping on our 100/15Mbit link and when I slam the link with netperf-wrapper top tells me the cpu is about 30% used.

I don't have any log files but when I tested this box in-line on a GigE network I seem to remember it being able to do far above 100Mbit but I don't remember how much more.

It's running a custom build of BB. Custom because the dual GigE network chipset is not recognised by by openwrt BB and I had make a small patch to fix that but every thing else is stock BB. QOS is qos-scripts scripts and not a version of sqm-scripts. When I got it all going I didn't full recognize that all the sqm stuff was not in qos-scripts. It works and currently meets our needs so I've not felt much need to mess with it.

It has a PCI-E x1 slot so you could add a wireless adapter.

Sadly its out of stock now but there are probably plenty more options if we started looking for them.
