- | \\ | + | With CTF enabled, the router starts to send out transmission frames as soon as the full packet header has been received. 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. |

- | **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 depends on the hardware model in use. On ARM devices, you might experience anything between 200 and 400Mbps. Note that enabling CTF will disable QoS and Bandwidth Limiter.
