I'm using the Seeed Odyssey https://www.seeedstudio.com/ODYSSEY-X86J4105864-p-4447.html

It will shape inbound using cake (piece of cake) at 1Gbps.  Dual Intel i210 controllers.  I'm running stable OpenWRT, although I needed to use ToT to get a UEFI boot setup for it that would work with the internal eMMC.

But it has hilariously more storage and memory that I need for a border router.  I _can_ completely utilize a single core with cake on inbound traffic, so I'd like to sort out multiqueue (needs a newer kernel version with a newer driver from Intel), but I haven't bothered, since it seems to handle things well, and I rarely sustain 1Gbps downloads.

I use the most aggressive ACK filtering setting with cake due to the 30:1 asymmetry on the link.

Nice list! One comment - the page says this:

> The Intel AES-NI cpu extension can really help openssl/wireguard a lot

That is true for openssl (and other TLS, even IPSec, I think), but not
for wireguard - that doesn't use AES at all, but rather ChaCha20, which
is not accelerated by AES-NI (and doesn't need it either).
