Kmod-nft-offload
To check if your NIC driver advertises hardware offload capabilities, you can use the ethtool command and look for the hw-tc-offload feature:
For hardware offloading to work, your nftables ruleset needs to explicitly declare a flowtable with the offload flag. Here is an example configuration, as recommended in MediaTek's documentation: kmod-nft-offload
Knowing your hardware can help determine if it supports full hardware offloading. kmod-nft-offload - [OpenWrt Wiki] package 10-Dec-2023 — To check if your NIC driver advertises hardware
The output should confirm that flags offload is set. kmod-nft-offload
Understanding kmod-nft-offload in OpenWrt kmod-nft-offload is a specialized primarily used within the OpenWrt ecosystem to provide hardware and software flow offloading capabilities for the nf_tables (nftables) firewall framework. Core Functionality and Architecture
The kernel module changes this dynamic. It relies on a structural chain of dependencies within the OpenWrt kernel subsystem :
If the module is loaded, you should see nft_offload in the output.
