I read some sources that Pi is not that fast to route traffic through it.
However, maybe at least setting up DNS server on Pi would get some "live" stats without sacrificing performance ?
- trm42 11y agoI would expect that RPI could route normal home lan traffic well enough unless there's some big IO limitations regarding ethernet+usb ethernet. Linux has been used for routing with a lot lower spec HW than RPI or RPI2.
- spacecowboy_lon 11y agothe Ethernet on the PI is limited by the USB as that is how the Ethernet is implimented.
- haswell 11y agoI ran a Pi router for awhile, and can confirm that the USB ports are the bottleneck. It was great when I was using it to split traffic between two crappy 3-6Mbit links, but once I finally got hooked up with a decent connection (90Mbit), I quickly hit a 30Mbit-ish ceiling.
- trm42 11y agoSounds plausible. Thanks for the info :)
- andyl 11y agoCould you mention which sources? I'm thinking of building an access point on a Pi and would like to read your sources before diving in.
