If you're willing to run VPP on Ubuntu (or Debian) can be done on
very low power machines and at surprising throughput.<br>
Take a look at for example this ~18 Watt machine:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://ipng.ch/s/articles/2024/07/05/review-r86s-jasper-lake-n6005/">https://ipng.ch/s/articles/2024/07/05/review-r86s-jasper-lake-n6005/</a><br>
Or a rack mountable ~22 Watt machine:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://ipng.ch/s/articles/2024/08/03/review-gowin-1u-2x25g-alder-lake-n305/">https://ipng.ch/s/articles/2024/08/03/review-gowin-1u-2x25g-alder-lake-n305/</a><br>
<br>
Both of these machines are very affordable, rack mountable (in the
case of R86S with a rack-mount kit), and route 10G+ with full BGP
tables.<br>
The articles also go into some detail on the machine and CPU specs,
and how those intersect with DPDK and VPP forwarding.<br>
