I would say that it would be desireable to have a device that is available world-wide, that doesn't have a lot of different versions of the hardware that are different. I also think that it'll be very hard to find a box that is decently priced that also will do gig speeds *and* will do AQM, since most home gateways that are this quick has hardware acceleration that in turn requires vendor proprietary kernels to drive the hardware. So if you want to fulfil both, I think we need two platforms. 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 would be happen to be wrong on the last point though... -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
