This refers to the bootstrap portion of the process, or the loading of code before the Operating system loads.

- | \\ | + | 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. |

- | \\ | + | * The holding period may require more of the router' |
+ | * WAN-to-LAN performance depends more on the router model in use. | ||
+ | * On ARM devices, you can expect performance in the range of 200 to 400 Mb/s. | ||
- | **CTF (Cut-Through Forwarding)** If set, this will enable hardware acceleration. For example, this would allow you to use your FreshTomato device in a WAN Gigabit environment. With this option disabled (Default), your WAN-to--LAN performance will depend on the hardware model in use. You might get anything between 200~400Mbps on ARM devices. NOTE: Enabling CTF will disable QoS and Bandwidth Limiter, since the switching part of the packet bypasses parts of the standard Linux iptable chains. | + | CTF/FastNAT is support as follows:\\ |
