Ideally it should have at least 6 ports but I could live with 5 or 4. The TP-Link TL-WR1043ND (but without Wifi radio) would come close. It should be stable providing switching between the ports, routing (just a handful of static routes), a handful of pf rules and some sort of Netflow data collector. It would be nice if the switch could be configured (vlans) but that's not absolutely necessary as all ports will be used in trunk mode. I know it can be done with a Soekris board and bridge all ports together but I'd prefer switch class performance over software bridging. Hope someone can help me. With kind regards, Paul Schenkeveld
