Hi
i was looking at the page
https://wiki.freebsd.org/action/show/mips/Octeon?action=show&redirect=FreeBSD%2Fmips%2FOcteon
where amongst other things mentioned Ubiquity EdgeRouter Lite as
compatible and also that Gigabit speeds on Basic Packet passing should be
OK.
I started to look at classifieds and I see some devices available for
grabs.
However I came across this article where the user explains one of the
drawbacks being not being able to push more than 250Mbit per second
between two Gigabit Hosts. However that article was not made on the latest
available build as far as I see...

Question:
Anyone has experience with Edgerouter Lite and FreeBSD and can comment on
the real time performance achieved?
Perhaps one of the other mentioned HW would be more suitable to go for (
even if it seems difficult to even find any.. Lanner , Portwell and
Radisys devices )
Perhaps going the x86 route and pick up some appliance from Aliexpress
which should work as a FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD router/firewall and achieve
Gigabit speed on ports while passing packets easily/easier?
f.e :
