Traffic shaping

[ScratchMonkey]

I've used the Wondershaper in the past on Linux-based gateways and just tripped across a new project in traffic shaping, CeroWrt. Is any of this work finding its way into Merlin?

Here's a blog on why Wondershaper is bad (but better than no shaping at all):

Ah, I see some stuff about this a couple months ago:

And from that thread it looks like we're screwed, that we're stuck with wondershaper's limitations for now, due to Broadcom's choices in closed source kernel modules.
