Looking for some pointers for designing my home router.

@Efonne:
If you have a gigabit switch that supports VLANs, I think you could probably even get away with connecting a single gigabit port on the router computer to the switch and using VLANs for everything.
If you want to share data between LAN and DMZ (or OPT) isn't the best way..

hey dude,
Iv been looking at a smiler system my self… I found the bellow which would fit your criteria well!!
The board has 2 Intel nics built in and the daughter board has another 3. you then also have a pci and a mini pcie free for what ever you like (my plan was ssd in the mini PCIe and a wifi card in the PCI slot)
There are also cheaper versions of the same stuff just using broadcom or 100m/b nics instead on that site two.
Hope this helps

If you want to do that on gigabit ethernet, you need a powerful system anyway. An Intel Atom CPU, for example, may not have enough processing power for it to even make a difference.

http://linitx.com/product/13104What SSD works in mini PCIe? I don't think I have ever seen that before.
-
Many early netbooks used a mini-pci-e card/slot for their SSD. However I believe they use a non-standard interface (or part of it) so don't assume they will work in any board.

Edit: In fact most use mSATA which looks the same but isn't! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA#mSATA

http://linitx.com/product/13104That motherboard does not have mSata on the mini-PCIe slot so you can forget about putting in a mSata (Mini-PCIe) SSD.

Or the great PATA over Mini PCI-Express. That's what my Dell Mini 9 has. Ugh.

Ah yes I knew the Dell mini was different but couldn't remember the details. The very early Asus netbooks had some proprietary connector I seem to remember. ::)

The 700 series was PATA over mini PCI-e but with some proprietary protocols. The later models used the standardized PATA over mini PCI-e like the Dell Minis.
Either way, it's now mSATA for almost everyone though Apple devices are a notable exception.
-
Yes, mSATA uses the exact same connector as mini PCIe, but it is wired totally different.
-Some motherboards allow you to change the function in the BIOS of a port, between mSATA and mini PCIe
-mSATA uses the SATA protocol :)I have an mSATA drive in my laptop, they are pretty sweet and really tiny! It's amazing to have 256GB of data in something so small!
