IPv6 router
IPv6 router
I have particular interest to implement IPv6 router, but current development boards offer do not allows me to do this - I expect that I will need at least a board with 2 Ethernet ports and one-two-three G4 cores.

Can you expand why those are the requirements?
I get the two ethernet ports bit but why so many G4s?
Could you not use the XC-3 https://www.xmos.com/products/developme ... d-tile-kit ?

I would like to use a web based UI to configure the router, and on 1 G4 chip where is no much space left in this case.
You are right, I could consider XC-3 to make a router, but without web based interface.

Do you mean space as in memory?
One core is enough to run a webserver with the uIP stack
@Folknology: yes
@Berni: great news! I still have lwIP based stack, but already migrating to new uIP

How much memory do you need?
good question. it's to be defined as I would like to include ayiya support.
Doesn't routing need quite a large amount of memory (MBs) for tables, buffers etc? You could use external SRAM to selectively store such things.
yes, that would be define as soon as I get something compiling ;)
