Well, it's a competitor to the edgerouter X pricewise, and my hope would be with the cache coherent I/O and the arm v8s that it could push 1Gbit with ease out each port, regardless of offloads. USB3 makes for high speed nas capability, (although I have high hopes for usb-c on something router-ish someday). Also I am gradually thinking we'll start seeing more 2.5gbit ethernet over TP. And there's a mini-pcie slot for wifi-card-of-choice... all at a pricepoint that's lower than almost anything I've seen with these capabilities. Who knows, perhaps the "full SDK" will allow for programming the packet coprocessor? /me drinks some kool-aid Downsides: Globalscale, historically, has had heat issues in their designs. And it is quite far from shipping, as yet. > > -- > Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se --=20 Dave T=C3=A4ht Let's go make home routers and wifi faster!
