| + | ==== NSS: Qualcomm Network Accelerator ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | This SOC has two NSS processors. This NSS processors are able to handle some network / cryptographic functions and offload the main processors of the SOC. Currently, the Qualcomm NSS hardware acceleration is not officially supported in OpenWrt and maybe never will be. The code needed for that is not in the kernel of Linux and the patches provided by Qualcomm are only for very old versions of the kernel, so they can't be imported directly into OpenWrt and adding them require a lot of work and maintenance. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The main processors of the SOC are able to route without using the NSS processors, and this is how the official build of OpenWrt works, but is not as fast as it can be when using the NSS cores. | ||
| + | |||
| + | However, there is an ongoing community effort to enable NSS acceleration. **It's important to note that community efforts do not guarantee official support in the future**. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If your internet speed is near 1 Gbps speeds, you will note that official OpenWrt build will not reach this speeds. Or if you plan to have additional processes running on the router that can consume resources it will hurt your routing speed. In this case maybe you can try to use this NOT official builds, but remember, **they are NOT official and thus they don't have official support**. | ||
