Details
The NSS (Network SubSystem) is the Qualcomm stack for network acceleration.
It consists of:
See also the OpenWrt nss-packages on Github.
FRITZ!OS
For the Linux Kernel Qualcomm offers drivers which they call the NSS.
They form the hardware accelerator engine for CPU-offload network processing.
Most of these drivers are dual licensed BSD / GPL, a few are proprietary.
Drivers built into the Kernel are part of AVM-Tarballs but most external modules are not.
This is due to the BSD option in the license, which does not require to release the source.
