To make matters worse, when the V5 is managing to handle multiple connection streams, its throughput sharing among streams is terrible as shown in Figure 11, which shows 16 connections.

As a point of comparison, Figure 12 shows how the GL does with 32 simultaneous connections.

While the GL's ability to evenly distribute throughput among multiple connections isn't anything to write home about, it certainly does a better job than the V5. But I've seen much less expensive routers such as Zonet's ZSR0104CP do a better job, as shown in Figure 13.
