On-device packet processing - Raspberry Pi CM4 header?

Wed Nov 10, 2021 8:11 pm

Just throwing this out there to see if other people find it interesting:

I often wish we could do a bit more packet processing on the edge device (Snort, proxying, etc.) for certain SOHO and travel users where we don't want to deploy two devices and deal with cabling, etc. Something like a Rasbperry Pi Compute Module that we can preconfigure and plug in and have it internally connect via a switch port link would be perfect, although there are a million other possibilities. USB port(s) and / or PCIe/M.2 slot for it would be nice, but not really necessary if it means keeping the board costs down (I'd take M.2 NVMe if I had to pick one). At the end of the day if the compute moduel is pluggable then we can make do with just Ethernet - we can just swap it out with another preconfigured module if there's a problem.

Something like this on a Chateau 5G would be amazing for us.
