Gargoyle 1.15.x BETA - 2024-11-13 - Based on OpenWrt 23.05

[MrZedS]

To test speeds I have always used the Speedt3st.n3t site.
With the official firmware I reach 2,200 Mbit in download and 1,150 Mbit in upload, while with Gargoyle I reach 1,750 Mbit in download and 875 Mbit in upload: i believe that the difference is made by the possibility of using Software/Hardware offload.
One thing I noticed using Speedt3st.n3t is that while the test with the official firmware starts immediately and reaches maximum speed easily, the test with Gargoyle starts after 4-5 seconds and reaches the maximum only at the end of the test

What features do you have enabled?
QoS? Bandwidth monitoring?

This sounds about expected, and yes it is likely due to processing in software rather than offloading.
Be aware that offloading bypasses most of the firewall and therefore most of Gargoyles features do not work. They are therefore mostly incompatible.

I am happy to run tests on my end to verify if you wish, but I’ll need to know a bit more detail about your features enabled so I can replicate.

However, that address you’ve listed being in the 2001:0DB8::/32 range is very clearly from the “documentation prefix” and should not be used on the internet. So it could also possibly be an error from the site? Have you cross verified with any others?

As far as I can tell, it seems to relate to the laptop I used. Will do same test with the other laptops or flash the latest version of firmware to have cross checks. Thanks Lantis.
BTW is it possible for Gargoyle to have the support of PPPoE passthrough?

[MrZedS]

At this moment my configuration is (1.15.X (Built 20241113-0953 git@b0c923bf):
- Bandwidth Monitor disabled;
- QoS disabled;
- Device configured as Gateway with custom MTU (1492) & custom VLAN (835);
- Dns servers by OpenDNS and "Allow NameCoin/OpenNIC Resolution" Enabled;
- Packet steering Enabled;
- DHCP disabled;
- 3 Individual Port Forwarded;
- All other options are by default.

Do you know what the settings look like to do that on vanilla OpenWrt?

[ViBE]

there is "WAN Port Speed" on overview tab. but it does not show anything. is that normal?

[Lantis]

What type of connection?

Code: Select all

uci get network.wan.device

The pppoe-relay? But I wonder if there are UCI configurations about it.

[Lantis]

Maybe start a new thread and we can continue the discussion.
We probably need to clarify what you mean by PPPoE Passthrough.

pppoe-relay allows the PPPoE traffic to be sent through a new interface and the downstream then does authentication.

My understanding of PPPoE pass through was that the router handled authentication and then made the WAN IP available on another interface (and essentially became transparent).
