I've run into a number of low end CPE situations lately where I haven't found anything that does what I want, but I have to believe it is out there. I'm hoping NANOG can help. Basically think about a sophisticated home user, or a 1-5 person small office. Think DSL, Cable Modem, maybe Cell Card or ISDN as backups. Looking for an "appliance", very much fire and forget. I probably won't get all the features that I want, but in no particular order: - Able to load balance over 2 links (probably via NAT). - IPv6 support, native or tunnel to tunnelbroker.net type thing. - Able to deal with "backup" connectivity, eg. Cell Cards which you only want to use if the primary is down. - User friendly features, e.g. UPNP, NAT-PMP, etc. - Good manageability. ssh to a cli would be a huge bonus, at least the ability to backup a config. - Able to handle decent througput, probably 20Mbps/sec min, 50 would be nice. _ Nice firewall features. - IDS features are cool. WiFi is not strictly required, but would be cool. Things like "guest" WiFi would be an added bonus. Something a NANOGer might want at home would be a good baseline. I realize the exact product may differ depending on DSL/Cable/Cell/ISDN, that's ok, let's get some various good solutions going here. What is the state of the art, and who has it? -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/
