Ubiquiti claims for their EdgeMAX routers to reach 1 Mpps with their entry-=
level model (EdgeRouter LITE) and 2 Mpps with their bigger model (EdgeRoute=
r). They have maximum power requirements of 12 W and 40 W, respectively.

I own the other entry-level device, with more ports and PoE (EdgeRouter PEO=
), but don't yet have it in productive use (and would not able to attest pp=
s performance at that level anyway). =


It seems to be quite capable a device, but the Web GUI doesn't cover the mo=
re interesting parts of its functions, and the documentation of the command=
-line UI, which is modeled strongly after Juniper's, seems to be less than =
fully complete, to say the least.

Might still work out if you are willing to find your way through it. I am n=
ot yet fully convinced, but then I haven't found much time to do so by now.
