I can't get more than about 20Mbit/sec down with BBB as a router. I tried installing kernel 3.13.9-bone9 after reading your comment, but there is no difference. When I connect my old router, I get the 30Mbit/sec I pay for. Any ideas? Where is this ksoftirqd you speak of? I don't see it in my ru

I've setup my home with a BBB acting as a firewall/router. With the 3.12 kernel, I had problems in high data-volume situations (3+MB/s DL according to my download managers). ksoftirqd would start taking up all the processor and then my packets would be dropped. After upgrading to the 3.13 kern

As far as I am concerned the BBB is inapproprite as a firewall To keep performance up as high as possible, two high speed (1 gig) NIC cards are needed. USB is not high speed. On Tuesday, April 1, 2014 4:25:05 PM UTC-5, Mike Bell wrote: > > On 04/01/2014 05:02 PM, vignesh murali wrote: > > I j
