My MONO Gateway just arrived from Slovenia, so I can finally play with it! It's a completely ground-up design for the ideal home and small business router, with a fairly powerful NXP Layerscape ARM CPU (with some hardware offload capabilities), 2x 10G SFP+, 3x 1Gbe, and a pretty housing. I'll probably play in both OpenWRT and OPNsense, and maybe build my own distro if I am feeling really wild. What actually happened: - Unboxed the Gateway - Got into recovery linux to update the OpenWRT image to the latest one - Got into OpenWRT and got it setup -- Got 16Gbps with hardware offloading (zero CPU load) of IPv4 NAT and IPv6 stateful firewall - Tried the lastest release of OPNsense for the Mono, and it worked, but it was not happy with my SFP module for WAN
