This week I will be replacing my router (#Ubiquiti #Edgerouter Lite) with an Alta Labs #Route10. The ERL has been great, but there is one specific condition which causes severe performance issues. The ERL can offload #ipv6, #vlan and #pppoe 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.
