I've been putting these new ER-X-SFP https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgerouter-x-sfp/ devices through their paces the last couple of days and am really impressed with them. They are a 6 port gig-e switch/router that provides 24V passive POE power on all ports and includes an SFP port. The box runs debian so you can install your own utilities and scripts. The routing is based on a forked version of vyatta and includes firewall, shaping, load balancing, etc.. They cost $79 bucks..
I needed to provide a router that could health-check and load balance between two ISP uplinks and provide traffic shaping and firewall features.. I took a look at the various options, and this thing blew doors on them for 1/10th the cost. They are not quite in the distribution chain yet, but worth your time when you can get ahold of them.
