+ | CTF lets bridges use an alternative forwarding method for storing and forwarding frames. Enabling CTF may improve speeds on Internet plans that offer speeds above 100 Mb/second. CTF is usually necessary to achieve peak speeds on plans that allow 200 Megabits/second and above. | ||
+ | |||
+ | With CTF enabled, the router starts to send out transmission frames as soon as it receives its destination. However, the router relies on the client device to tell it whether the data is corrupted for resend. This restriction can cause problems with a few common home uses. Note that enabling CTF will disable QoS and Bandwidth Limiter. This is because the switching part of the packet bypasses parts of the standard Linux iptable chains. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When you have CTF disabled, the router will store the entire frame before sending it out to its destination. When this happens: | ||

+ | * FastNAT is a similar function to forward at accelerated speeds. | ||
