I 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 :)
