Overview
CeroWrt is a project built upon the OpenWrt firmware to resolve the endemic problems of bufferbloat in home networking today, and to push the state of the art of edge networks and routers forward. Projects include proper IPv6 support, tighter integration with DNSSEC, and most importantly, reducing bufferbloat in both the wired and wireless components of the stack.
To minimize the effects of hardware dependencies, we have chosen the Netgear WNDR3700v2 or WNDR3800 as the sole hardware for the experiments. The open source support for it is extensive, it has a capable processor with 16MB of flash and 64MB of RAM, it supports a USB flash stick, they are inexpensive (around $120-130). The WNDR3800 has more RAM (128MB instead of 64), but either of these models will be fine for these experiments. The WNDR3700v3 model that has recently appeared on the market does not work with CeroWrt; purchase the WNDR3800 if you want to be future-proof.
