<p>Hi Christian,</p>
<p>a AMD EPYC 7642 should be able to saturate that 20 GBit/s
connection fine, Mainboard depends on what you prefer. Supermicro,
HP and so on have all Mainboards for that CPU, so choose the one
you prefer.</p>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Dear Tor friends,
the NGO I am volunteering for (Digitalcourage e.V.) has been running
modest Tor exits for many years. Now we finally have the opportunity
to run a high-bandwidth exit relay because we found a data center with
a nice internet connection (20 Gbit/s) we may use.
My question is: What kind of hardware should we buy to utilize this
bandwith? I am told that we need an SFP+ networking card to connect to
the fibre optics cable, but what CPU and mainboard would you recommend
nowadays? It should fit into a 1 height unit 19" enclosure.
If you prefer to tell me in person: I will attend the Tor meetup in
Brussels on Friday <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://blog.torproject.org/events/tor-meetup-brussels"><https://blog.torproject.org/events/tor-meetup-brussels></a>
and the subsequent Freedom Not Fear event <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://www.freedomnotfear.org/"><https://www.freedomnotfear.org/></a>.
Cheers,
Christian
