Indeed. "A successor, the Do-20, was envisioned by Dornier, but never advanced
beyond the design study stage.”
Really? I’m shocked.

I have just such a test planned, as a middlebox for poor-man’s full-duplex p2p
WiFi. One port in, one for egress and one for ingress, same on the other end of
the link. I tried it last year with 2xAPUv1 but one link was still a cable
because I didn’t have four NSM5s, so the results looked artificially good. Now
I have them, so it’s just a matter of setting it up again...
