Hi Mark,
I wouldn’t expect these changes to make a difference in the
performance of this setup.
My work mostly affects setups with multi-core systems that see a lot of
traffic. Even before these changes I’d expect the if_bridge code to
saturate a wifi link easily.
I also wouldn’t expect ng_bridge vs. if_bridge to make a significant
difference in wifi features.
Best regards,
Kristof

Up until a month ago I ran a set of FreeBSD based ap in my house and
even long ago at work . They were Pc engines apu ‘s or Alix’s with
one em/igb nic and one ath nic in a bridge . They worked well for a
long time however the need for more robust wifi setup caused me to
swap them out with cots aps from tp-link . The major issues were the
lack of WiFi features and standards that work oob on Linux based aps .
So I always wanted to experiment with ng_bridge vs if_bridge for the
same task . But I never got around to it . Do you have any insight
into using one vs the other . Imho if_bridge is easier to setup and
get working .

Should this improve wifi to wired bridges in some way ? Has this
been tested ?
What sort of setup do you have to bridge wired and wireless? Is the
FreeBSD box also a wifi AP?
I’ve not done any tests involving wifi.
Best regards,
