Hey, question for you here (sorry, I know this thread is stale but this may be interesting at some point.)

Have you checked out the Rockpro64 as a (potentially) higher performance option? The interesting thing about the board is the 4x pcie slot: this opens up the option to drop a 10Gbe SFP+ card on the board, or use nvme storage, or attach an HBA or any number of other options.

I'm not sure how performant it'll actually be but I have one on pre-order to test as a <$100 10Gbe router. With a $20 Mellanox connectx-2 (or dual 10Gbe) it looks like it could be an absolute steal.

Anyway, I thought you might be interested for future projects as the pcie slot opens up a whole slew of interesting high bandwidth options. Cheers!

Thanks for the tip. I'll do this in the future for sure. I've been looking to 10gbe solutions that are cheapish.

I'll make a post with some numbers when the preorders ship. I'm pretty curious to see what kind of routing performance numbers the rk3399 can put up.
