The Edgerouter 6 is going to be coming out shortly, that is what I am
holding out for to run my home network on.
Just curious, why this and not amd64 bit with something like the
pcengine apu2 board? I know it only has three NICs, so it's likely a
non-started for the OP, but it's 64bit amd.
I don't know the MSRP of the ER6. Do you?
Because I don't like amd64 and avoid it when possible. I like the idea
of having a niche architecture for my internet facing machines. Plus,
octeon has no speculative execution, and thus none of the awful exploits
associated with it. The Edgerouter is a stable, low power machine with
reasonable horsepower that is purpose built to push packets. I think the
ER6 is going to be retailing for about $220.
