I really respect this build, the only thing that I don’t like is the power consumption at idle of ~50 Watt. I understand that this is probably due to the used NICs but still. It might almost be interesting to setup a second router (a Pi4 might do) for regular casual internet usage + VRRP and only turn on this beast when more bandwidth is required. The 25Gbit machine would be the VRRP master and the Pi4 the slave.
