Interesting that it will only have 1 10GbE port, I'm not really sure how you're supposed to use 10Gb internet service if you can't get 10Gb out of the router into your LAN.
The idea is that you use the 10Gb port as a trunk, then you use your switch to split it into separate physical ports using VLANs.
Ah that makes sense, so not very useful if you have over 5Gb internet service I suppose.
The 10Gb is full duplex, so you can transfer at the full 10Gb though that is split between upload and download. These and the kind of 'problems' I wish I had to consider.
Fair, I guess the chances of needing simultaneous 10Gb download and upload on the internet connection are pretty slim.
My ISP does offer 6 Gbps, but 1 Gbps is far more than I need already. I would drop down to like a 500 Mbps plan if they had one but it jumps all the way to 100 Mbps.
