Out here in the Bay Area, I've been trying to figure out how to efficiently (and interestingly) use a 10gbe FTTH symmetric setup from Sonic. It's surprisingly hard to find anything for the thrifty consumer that can consume this kind of connection. I'm curious if there is something like the nanoPi R4S targetted at the 10gbe world.
- sliken 4y ago10gbe and thrifty is at least for now not a good match. Could put in a PCIe dual x 10GBe card into an old PC and if that's not enough ports buy a vlan capable switch with a 10GBe uplink and enough 2.5gbe/1gbe ports for your needs.
- stephen_g 4y agoI’ve been thinking about using maybe Netgate hardware running pfSense in an business setup. Apparently the 1537 model [1] can do over 10 Gbps routing and firewall according to their marketing tests. Base model is a bit over two grand in USD. But probably not super ‘efficient’ throwing a Xeon at it and not especially thrifty. It looks like a branded generic Supermicro machine but seems convenient to get it out of the box and the price doesn’t seem bad considering what’s in it. 1. https://shop.netgate.com/collections/rack-appliances/products/1537-base-pfsense https://shop.netgate.com/collections/rack-appliances/product...
- newman314 4y agoI was just waiting for a comment like this as I anticipate getting the 10G at some point. From what I've been able to tell, at 10G speeds, you pretty much have to build your own. Currently, I'm planning to get a SFFPC, stick a quad port 10G card in it, maybe run ESXi, router OS TBD: VyOS, DANOS, OpenWRT?
