   I think my network overhaul is almost done now
   found out something funny about the access points I'm using; openwrt's move to DSA for switch configuration really fucked things up a lot

     the biggest thing they broke, which still isn't fixed to this day, is handling boxes with multiple internal links between the CPU and the switch
     in some cases it's not handled at all (mvebu) so you lose some routing performance
     in other cases it's been hacked in (mt7621), but you get optimal routing performance at the cost of a usable switch port
     the wan port on my access points *is* physically part of the switch, but if I put it in the bridge, packets get forwarded in software
