Andrew for ARM-based solutions I think the RPI3 is a good option if you can add external storage on USB as the MMC is not suitable for writing long term data. On the RPI3 if you need the second ethernet you need to use a USB-based adapter
If you can wait until June, a new ADI Engineering board should come out and likely able to satisfy all your needs. Otherwise any PC-based solution (pcengines and up) can be a good option Regards Luca > On 1 May 2017, at 19:44, Andrew Hilborne <[email protected]> wrote: > > I wish the ntop.org <http://ntop.org/> pages were clearer about what is and > is not suitable hardware.
