Just because nobody is mentioning it - you can always build a pfSense/VyOS/Vyatta box in whatever form factor you’d prefer. Even can run within a VM if you really want to. Regards, Cory On Fri, Dec 25, 2020 at 11:45 AM, Bryan Fields <Bryan@bryanfields.net> wrote:

For the home, if you're looking at shipping 10Gbps-based CPE's for under US$200, I can't think of anything other than the Tik:
That has 1 10g port. How can that be a 10g CPE?
They claim:
- 2.6Gbps forwarding for 64-byte packets. - 7.8Gbps forwarding for 512-byte packets. - 9.7Gbps forwarding for 1,518-byte packets.
so, not 10g :)
Add in some services and I bet it goes down from there.
The bigger question in all this if you're doing 10g to the residential user, what are they going to use for their home router/NAT device? Even 60 ghz wifi routers top out at like 5 gbit/s, and NAT at this speed means a powerful CPU.
10g to the home is a great idea to think about, it's just not terribly practical for most customers unless they want to drop 1-2k on routing gear and nics. This is always changing, but it's going to be a few years until we reach the right performance and price point.
