Thanks for posting this info.

Could anyone knowledgeable also comment on how the state of DD-WRT compares to these projects, by any chance?

I only used dd-wrt a little bit, but it looked to me like the only thing that it may be suitable for was running an AP, while OpenWRT (and derivatives) are much more general.

configuration for dd-wrt was a registry of name-value pairs while Openwrt uses config files and scripts.

There is also a very large selection of packages available in Openwrt while dd-wrt is just a router.

dd-wrt got fq_codel for it's QoS system a while back. It's uncertain if they grokked the need to up the target parameter for it at low bandwidths (basically the fq_codel target and interval should be increased to account for a MTU's worth of packets when used at low rates (below 3mbit), which is something we didn't figure out until some testing of the real world against the behavior of the ns2 model.

I like dd-wrt, but they tend to run a bit behind openwrt (for quite a few good reasons). I figure they will have the high level of ipv6 integration that openwrt now has soon, if not already.
