Solid-Run makes one, we sell one. We make a custom product based on the Armada 38xx and it was measured at high 900 Mbps using a Buildroot Linux. I want to say 980 but the engineer who did the measurements is away so I can't confirm. I can't wait to get my hands on a netgate router. I had it all lined up for my tax return and then the clutch in my car died. :( https://www.netgate.com/products/sg-3100.html > Hell, even the little single core 600MHz OMAP / 2 Ethernet router we sell will do 550mbps using pkt-gen without “pf” running. loos@ did a huge amount of work on the NIC driver there.

(They tend to max out at around 300 Mbps; the fine print in the spec sheets for some of them says that this is due to "bus limitations.") Any recommendations for ARM-based SBCs or project computers that have at least one (and preferably 2 or more) true gigabit Ethernet ports? >> >> --Brett Glass >> >> _______________________________________________ >> freebsd-arm@freebsd.org mailing list >> https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-arm >> To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-arm-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-arm@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-arm > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-arm-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"help
