The interesting feature o the above test was how much slower ipv6 was.

For you. I'm glad to be confronted with a working setup now, as sorting
through the source code various branches and other default and example
conf files did
not lead to obvious configurations. With this in place I hope that I
can get the router stuff built AND configured correctly in the shortest
possible time, in parallel with the current setup.

assuming it all compiles and actually works on mips.

and then beat it up for a while so that we can prove it doesn't crash.

Actually I'd like to start beating it up (scripts running things like
iperf, netperf, etc
through it, from the client) now...
