<p>I have tried a Banana Pi Pro 1,2 GHz Allwinner A20 -> 10 Mbit/s max (debian)<br>
</p>
<p>Beaglebone Black 1 GHz AM335x -> 12 Mbit/s max (debian)<br>
</p>
<p>Intel NUC5CPYH Celeron N3050 1,6 GHz to 2,16 burst -> 5 Mbit/s max (OpenBSD)</p>
<p><br>

<p>So I need something quite a bit more than I have already tried ;-)</p>
