A raspberry pi 400 can handle around 875 MBit when bridging two interfaces. So it’s not even fast enough for two ports let alone full duplex. I doubt a n100 can handle more than three.
- sofixa 2y agoAn Intel Celeron N5105, on one core, does ~28Gbps locally between two bridged interfaces with iperf. A Raspberry Pi 4 has a single PCIe lane with a total of 4Gbps bandwith for everything (all USB ports and Ethernet). Edit: shameless plug, but I just finished writing an article on my new home network, including the router with the above spec/results: https://atodorov.me/2024/07/03/running-a-multi-gig-home-network-in-2024/ https://atodorov.me/2024/07/03/running-a-multi-gig-home-netw...
- Asmod4n 2y agoThe CPU is the bottleneck. All switching is done in software with off the shelf NICs.
- sofixa 2y agoYes, my Intel Celeron N5105 had a full core pegged at 100% while doing that iperf and getting those numbers. But there are 4 whole cores, meaning I can get far more traffic switched and routed with the CPU capacity than all the ports combined can sustain.
