That's a neat board. And I was just thinking something with a Marvell
chip might do well but couldn't think of any boards you could get (The
original cubox would not make a good router even though it's one network
port has quite good performance). Certainly the imx6 based boards have
internal bus limitations that make the maximum network throughput not
much better than was considered not good enough.

Neat, another Armada chip.

Hmm, no idea what the Allwinner network performance is like.
