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.
Sounds like a great reason not to do NAT… If you run IPv6, who needs NAT? For the rest, there are relatively cheap 2x10G+rest 1G switches coming available and there’s this weirdness with 2G/5G RJ ports now appearing to try and eke out additional wifi performance over cat5e I guess. Owen
