The router's operating system will place in the swap area the least frequently required data. When using a high-speed drive, devices with a USB v3 port can effectively expand the amount of memory without overloading the processor.Ĭompared to the zRAM method, which allows using the RAM available more rationally (using data compression algorithms), the swap allows extending it. This method of RAM expansion is more reliable than using a swap file, as data is placed on an allocated disk partition, not in a file in the partition used by other applications.Īs opposed to the method of virtual increase of RAM size ( zRAM function), with the help of a swap partition, it is possible to physically increase the RAM size of the system.
This type of partition is called 'Linux Swap'. Keenetic routers can automatically mount and use a special partition on an external drive for a memory swap.
