Thanks for the info, i'm testing it now.

Given the throttling issue with BB based Gargoyle is there any chance of getting a version built on CC RC1? I have had to revert to OpenWRT to get the full benefit of my 152 mb connection and I have to say the connection as a whole is much faster than with Gargoyle 1.7.1 - shame as I love the features of Gargoyle.

The fix for that was back ported to gargoyle a few weeks ago.
It won't be as fast as openwrt because a lot of the functionality does slow it down a little, but it did improve the problem.

Nope - I just tried this and it still cripples the connection to <100 Mb - the last thing I read bout this in the forums said that it hadn't been backported to BB so couldn't be backported to a BB gargoyle version.

Did you try the version I linked?

I'm telling you that it was back ported.

It is also noted that some of the functionality of gargoyle does tax the connection a bit. Some users neutered parts of the functionality and achieved increased maximum speeds. But that begs the question of why you are using gargoyle at that point.

Well it doesn't improve anything - it was the version you linked but it crippled my link from 155 down to 90 - exactly the same speed as with the previous gargoyle version.

Well I guess you'll have to wait.
The patch is the same as what is included in chaos calmer so there may be minimal improvement. Who's to know.


By the way i don't speak for any developers nor am I one. I'm just commenting based on historical evidence.
