Makenshi Fox<p>This week I will be replacing my router (<a href="https://blimps.xyz/tags/Ubiquiti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ubiquiti</span></a> <a href="https://blimps.xyz/tags/Edgerouter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Edgerouter</span></a> Lite) with an Alta Labs <a href="https://blimps.xyz/tags/Route10" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Route10</span></a>. The ERL has been great, but there is one specific condition which causes severe performance issues. The ERL can offload <a href="https://blimps.xyz/tags/ipv6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ipv6</span></a>, <a href="https://blimps.xyz/tags/vlan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vlan</span></a> and <a href="https://blimps.xyz/tags/pppoe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pppoe</span></a> at 1gbs, but not all at once. So, if you try to transfer a lot of ipv6 traffic, it drops to software and it then affects all traffic passing through. The main "culprit" is Steam which prefers ipv6 (as it should!) The new router should not have that limitation.</p>
