<p>For this application you might have better success searching for low power MIPS based systems than ARM systems. Look for something that uses the Cavium Octeon processor.</p>

Alers,<br>
<br>
I'm looking for something to replace my existing dd-wrt router (or at<br>
least to separate out my router functionality from my Wifi capability).<br>
I'm looking for an arm box (I want the very low power use of an ARM),<br>
but I want ethernet via PCI (or on-chip), not through the USB Bus like<br>
on many ARM boxes, due to speed requirements. I'm looking for at least<br>
3 10/100/1000 ethernet ports because I want to support multiple WANs,<br>
some of which might exceed 100mbps.<br>
<br>
So, suggestions? My understanding is that the RPi's ethernet is via<br>
USB. Cubieboard is only 10/100. I haven't looked around at other ARM<br>
systems.<br>
<br>
I'd be willing to use non-ARM if it can get down to the 10-15W power<br>
profile. I'd even be willing to swap over to a "real router" if I can<br>
get the price point down, but last I checked a Cisco of sufficient speed<br>
and ports would cost me several hundred dollars.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
