Anyone tested the speed through smoothwall wonder if it handles any 10GBE NICs someone could build a fairly solid router using smoothwall I know funny you hardly ever see it mentioned here .... Been a while since I looked at it as my main train of thought was damn that thing is going to suck...

Interesting .... It sounds to me like it is using more chips to accomplish the task more or less a distribution of load ... I still think this is very useful for home wifi really especially for a decent sized family home. The other good thing is it will likely cost less electricity to balance...
