« on: December 02, 2019, 08:51:42 pm »I've used this: https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/X11SCL-iF along with a Xeon-E 2126G. I have gigabit up and down and run traffic shaping + IPS/IDS as well. No slowdowns (that I can observe)Nice solution. NB this version https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/X11SCL-LN4F has 4 gigabit ports but otherwise looks similar except larger form factor (microATX). It's about €70 more expensive here (Sweden).
Another variant is this: https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/M11SDV-4CT-LN4F
Bit slower than the Xenon above but fanless, still Mini-ITX and more energy efficient (35W). Also a bit cheaper than above m/board + CPU, at least in Sweden.
8 core version: https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/M11SDV-8CT-LN4F
Still low power (30W). Similarly priced to X11SCL-LN4F + Xeon CPU.
