Hi,

Been looking at various offerings at LinITX - but it's always hard to 
estimate the practical throughput of various systems.

Can anyone recommend anything where the NICs and CPU are upto the job?

I'm after something with 2 gig ports that can be driven at 80% or better 
of the line speed in practice (and not 20-30% as with a cheap and nasty 
NIC chipset).

1/2 - 1 GB RAM, small SSD (2-4GB) and VGA/USB.

I'd prefer to run debian on it as it's easier to keep updated than 
OpenWRT. At the same time I'm after bombproof hardware. Small and 
routerlike format would be good.



This will be routing 2 private VLANs (and I'd like the inter VLAN 
routing to go as near to gig speed as reasonably feasible), it will 
route some public IPs, handle NAT and firewalling (inc content 
filtering) for VDSL at upto 80Mbit/s.

Possible options may include:

LT360 Jupiter 1.6Ghz Atom Thin Client

I'm not discounting maybe one of the systems that are optimised for 
pfSense or m0n0wall but I've not found one with gig nics yet...


Cheers!


Tim
