[Bloat] Any non-bloaty 4port or 8port GigE switches?

Hi, sorry for the noise here but can anyone recommend a decent non-bloated
4port or 8port GigE switch? something supporting bonding/failover would be
a bonus but not a requirement.

Thanks,
-LMW

Sorry again for the noise, but maybe the old WNDR3800 can be repurposed for
this? Not sure how to do bonding on it however or if it needs hardware
support in the switch. I think 802.3ad link aggregation requires hardware
support but most switches with those are likely bloaty?

Do you have bloated gig switches? It's usually problem the other way 
around, these devices typically have 128 kilobyte of buffer shared between 
all ports which is way too little.

No, the 3800 can't do GigE wire speed forwarding on it's 4-port part, and to
do any kind of bonding, etc. requires Linux to be involved, so it would be
even slower.

I could use the same thing too.
