*nod* About the only thing that I'm looking at doing differently at my
house is to use the Thompson USB SpeedTouch (330) USB ADSL modem to put
the ATM stack on the Linux box its self. This way the Linux kernel will
handle the bridging and buffering verses an external device that has
arbitrary pauses waiting for buffers to fill prior to transmitting data.
My preliminary tests with the ATM stack on Linux show a speed increase
over the external bridging modem too. :) My tests show that Linux /
Windows think the raw ATM with bridging circuit will get close to 1.6
Mbps while the bridged devices get closer to 1.5 Mbps. I also see a
lower latency between the device connected to the DSL and the upstream
gateway by a factor of 3 - 5 ms.
