I was just wondering, what is the difference between having a LEAF box and just going out and buying a hardware router for fifty bucks.
Difference ? performance.
With Bering you can, by a careful hw selection, easily obtain a 10Mb/s + router/firewall. The fifty-bucks-things are limited to 2 Mb/s; someone reach full ADLS throughput (but the price soar too).
Example: here in Italy we have a ISP that sells, in metro areas, Internet connection with Ethernet fiber optic links that are able to do 8Mb/s+ sustained rate: Bering on Pentium platform can handle this connections, fifty-bucks-things no.
