It would be great if watchdog had the ability to execute/trigger a script.  Currently it can be done with more complex scripts that mimic watchdog plus do other things but it would be nice simply empower this feature a bit more than sending an email.

Re: PPPoE rate limiting bug

I was aware that not all packets in a connection can be fasttracked, but I didn't realize that such functions could be lost in the attempt to fasttrack other traffic passing through the router. I'll update the firmware, disable fasttrack related rules, reboot, and run the tests again.
