OpenWrt One - celebrating 20 years of OpenWrt

[Fernando Frediani]

Hi, interesting. Is it enough to give it the necessary performance boost 
when doing NAT ? Is it capable of doing it on the chip or does it do on 
the CPU ? Reading about it seems to be a software thing although seems 
there are hardware capable devices as well. How comparable is this to a 
chip that has NAT offload capability ?

Found something about this topic and MT7981 (not MT7981B) 
(https://github.com/ptpt52/natflow). Would it be the case as well ?

Thanks
Fernando
