Banana BPI-R4 br-lan speed limit bug

While using today's master ( 10/09/2024 ) I noticed that if I have a slow device connected to a bridged port the download speed for all ports will be capped at the slow device speed.

Example:

  • br-lan is stock with lan1,lan2,lan3 and eth2 bridged.
  • connect two of the lan ports with gigabit lan card computers, for instance lan1 and lan2
  • connect the third lan port with a 10mbits/s lan card computer, for instance lan3
  • test speed between openwrt and the gigabit devices with iperf3. upload will be ok ( ~992mbits/sec ) downloads will be capped at around 10mbits/sec ( iperf3 -R to test the download )
  • disconnect the 10mbits/sec device, speeds will be ok of both upload and download.

this has happened to other users with different hardware:

Hi.
Intriguing indeed.
For info the MR8300 doens't have this bug anymore. But it still have LAN to LAN issue (see github thread).
