- teleforce 3y agoIt'd be awesome if there's HAT+ for multi-port and multi-GbE Ethernet, and this can be a very popular poor man's SDN kit. There's one for RPi CM4, but with RPi 5 it will be much better in stability with the native heat sink available in the latter [1]. The additional two USB-3 ports on RPi 5 can be transformed to two 2.5 GbE ports, and another 2.5 GbE on the PCIe interface. Overall it probably can support 1 GbE (built-in) and additional 3-port 2.5 GbE via HAT+ extension.
