dmesg in the archive already. APU.1D4
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=144531661519455&w=2 Works well so far and the box is somewhat hot as it is the heat sink for the board. But in your concern I have one question that really puzzle me about it. "...push 1 Gigabit of packets..." Here is the logic that to me doesn't make sense. It' ok for you to disagree with me, but think about it for 2 minutes. If your customer have that kind of bandwidth, their internet access cost most likely is not small. They must have more then a handful employees and if they actually use that 1Gb, then they must be doing serious work, well one would hope so anyway. So, if you are concern for the capacity of this small router, and I may be mistaken, but as far as I know, Soekris doesn't pass 1Gb I wouldn't assume this box would either. Disclosure, I haven't tested that far to be right or wrong... So, assumption only... But the logic here is, if all the points above are true, that business or customer of yours really have the resources to do something better. Then put a few more $ it and do it right! I am not talking 2K, but you sure can get something more powerful under 1K for sure! If they can't justify that, then how serious are they about their business... It's not like they can't afford it right? Why go sooo cheap on what may be very critical for them??? Anyway, that's the logic, it is sure great for home, or small office, or even some what bigger for sure. But thinking to use this and push it to it's limit for a company that actually would push 1Gb, well, the logic appear to be broken here to me. And if you start to add pf, filtering, and what not to that box, what's left... It's ONE time expense, not like their monthly recurring cost for the current 1Gb access is it? Hope this help some, put thing back in perspective and give you some food for thought... It's not because you can get away with something that it make sense to do it... Good luck.
