I have a 1200 Mbps service and a modem which has 2x 1Gbps ethernet ports and supports 802.3ad/LACP to send/receive the full service bandwidth. Does bpi-r4 (in OpenWRT) support bonding 2x ethernet ports using LACP, hardware supported to achieve combined bandwidth > 1Gbps? Can’t seem to find this documented or described anywhere, but want to confirm before I pull the trigger on a bpi-r4.
Which ISP and what kind of technology do you use to get internet to your home?
Before you push the button, you should consider more than LACP… (just my opinion 
)"
Well naturally that’s not the only thing I’m considering! I’m just looking at bpi-r4 as a potential replacement for my current raspberry pi 4 openwrt router. No WiFi, just wired.
Not sure why it matters, but I have Comcast cable-based internet.
I was just curious! I thought you could may have fiber optics. And may use the SFP modul as a modem.
But cable internet in another construction site …
Oh, how I wish I had other options besides cable!
After some more digging around, it seems that the 4 gigabit ports are a “dumb switch” and probably can only used for cpu-driven bonding. I wonder what kind of throughput can be realized.
