I agree. OpenWrt's HW NAT support seems to be limited to mt7621 (i.e. At least upstream version).

Unless the SoC is purpose built for network computation I don't think they feature HW NAT, But open-source drivers for the SoC's which has HW acceleration is a bigger problem.

I think aiming for a good SW offloading is a more reasonable goal to start with, Which OpenWrt seems to be doing with MIPS based CPUs.



Interesting. The mt7621 is significantly more advanced than the basic switch chip I am using so far. I will continue with my current design and still try to reach out to the OpenWrt community for comment.
