As OpenWrt has matured, the way offloading is handled has changed. For instance, in newer kernel versions (5.1+), many IPv4 and IPv6 NAT packages were merged to simplify the codebase.

Requires specific hardware support (e.g., certain MediaTek, Marvell, or Qualcomm chipsets). kmod-nft-offload

To understand the benefit of kmod-nft-offload , you must understand how traffic is usually handled: As OpenWrt has matured, the way offloading is

Many modern network chips (especially in embedded routers and smart NICs) have dedicated hardware circuits for packet processing. kmod-nft-offload acts as the bridge between the Linux kernel's nftables rules and this hardware. It allows the kernel to "teach" the network hardware the firewall rules. To understand the benefit of kmod-nft-offload , you
