This is Great Change, is the Activation for the extra WAN port in B210 will be with license?

Once you purchase the upgrade, we will send you a key that you can enter into your Web UI to activate the WAN port.

Good News ,

How about router throughput ? CPU ? RAM ? any change ??

This is based on a new hardware platform (PowerPC based) with some performance improvement esp on the small packet routing. However, we will keep the marketing number at 100Mbps which is a good number for now.

RAM size and such are not important because we will support the same number of sessions (45,000) and everything else is transparent to users – EXCEPT – there is a separate firmware binary for future upgrade (because of PowerPC).

So we can be sure that this new hardware can have better RFC-2544 results on small frame sizes ?
