There's the Soekris net6501, which has four NICs and a PCIe expansion slot. It's an old design, and compared to the APU2 even the fastest model has much less CPU and no AES-NI if you were thinking of doing IPsec. It is also much more expensive. https://soekris.com/products/net6501-1.html Rather more competitive designs are based on the Intel Rangeley (Atom C2000) SoCs, but these are also expensive: Adi Engineering and Netgate offer these: RCC-VE 2440 (4 ports). stsp@ has one, I think. https://www.netgate.com/products/rcc-ve-2440.html RCC-VE 4860 (6 ports) https://www.netgate.com/products/rcc-ve-4860.html Somebody recently mentioned the Lanner FW-7525: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=146576932210443&w=2 http://www.lannerinc.com/products/x86-network-appliances/x86-desktop-appliances/fw-7525 -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de
