A CPU = based platform that is quick enough to do AQM in and CPU forwarding in = gig speeds will most likely have to be Intel based and cost 300 USD or = more. I am not sure whether a dual core 1.4GHz has well based cerleron = (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpN= o=3D8919600) will be sufficient (in combination with a USB3 ethernet = dongle to make up the fact that there is only one port built-in), but = $179 seems like an acceptable price point, given 2GB ram and 16GB SSD. = The cpu is a bit weaker than the one in Dave's NUC, 1.4 vs 1.7GHz, but = $180 beats $310+ easily ;). I wonder what it would take to install cerowrt on this and make = it run well.
