Fiber + multicast > wifi problems

@dustwolf

it would appear what your access points cannot handle is mainly P2P torrent traffic. Torrents open a lot of simultaneous connections, which improperly configured Linux embedded routers cannot handle, hence reboots

This issue occurred on the Linux Kernel until NAPI was added. This was therefore fixed in OpenWRT around Attitude Adjustment.

See:

IXP425 high traffic error "Budget exhausted after napi rescheduled"

I agree...I believe the only reasonable option to tweak would be: Perhaps napi wasn't added until circa-Attude Adjustment (which is why my former devices used to crash under high load). I may test with snapshot, in order to be ready for production with the future release of OpenWRT 17.04.5 (or however it may be named). I also recalled one more thing...LuCI!!! The IXP425 is a SoC (system on chip) and network CPU. When logged out, I received much higher numbers. Using the same averages, ~100/1…

@Willy

What I want is to know if that configuration can be played on a router with LEDE firmware.

I don't think you'll have the issue you described on OpenWRT version 17.01.4 or greater.
