Felix Fietkau a5c684de26 kernel: switch openwrt default to TCP cubic from westwood (patch by Dave Täht)
Despite Westwood's theoretical advantages, in nearly
every benchmark we ran last year, TCP cubic won, whether it be
on correct RTT estimates, amount of buffering, responsiveness,
etc. on current hardware and software designs.

(both need timestamps on to work well, besides)

TCP cubic is better maintained and understood than westwood,
also.

While a scenario where westwood would win possibly exists,
there is too much buffering in the wifi stack in particular
at present, to see any improvement.

If you wish to exercise various TCPs under contention,
the current svn head of netperf (2.6) has options to switch
congestion control agorithms on the fly, as does iperf.

README

This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux distribution.

Please use "make menuconfig" to configure your appreciated
configuration for the toolchain and firmware.

You need to have installed gcc, binutils, patch, bzip2, flex,
make, gettext, pkg-config, unzip, libz-dev and libc headers.

Run "./scripts/feeds update" to get the latest package definitions
defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default respectively
and "./scripts/feeds install" to install symlinks into "package/feeds/*".

Use "make menuconfig" to configure your image.

Simply running "make" will build your firmware.
It will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain, 
the kernel and all choosen applications.

You can use "scripts/flashing/flash.sh" for remotely updating your embedded
system via tftp.

The OpenWrt system is documented in docs/. You will need a LaTeX distribution
and the tex4ht package to build the documentation. Type "make -C docs/" to build it.

To build your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system
(case-sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin will not be supported because of
the lack of case sensitiveness in the file system.
