 ====== Ethernet Network Switch ======
 Many devices supported by OpenWrt contain an Ethernet network switch. Most switches are //configurable// and driver options are available. Typical features include ethernet frame tagging and [[docs:guide-user:network:vlan:switch_configuration|VLAN]] support. We require two software components:
-  - a kind of a driver
+  - A kind of a driver
-  - a utility

 ==== Features ====
-  * some Switches contain a functionality called **//"Hardware NAT"//**; support for this features has not yet been included into OpenWrt. Since the [[docs:techref:hardware:cpu]]s used in CPE Routers are relatively slow, expect 2 to 4 times performance gain if you were to use Hardware NAT, e.g. without hardware NAT some router could achieve 400Mbit/s at full CPU load, with hardware NAT it could achieve 900Mbit/s at full CPU load. OpenWrt developer is supposed to have said, that implementing HW-NAT support would be unacceptably hacky to accomplish.
