I've somewhat been wanting to replace my Ubiquiti Edgerouter 4, which is the router between my 1G fiber and my internal network. It still works fine, and does full line-rate routing, including PPPoE encapsulation and VLAN tagging. The problem is that Ubiquity stopped supporting it about three years ago. I've considered using a spare 1U Xeon server, which I believe can meet the required performance in software, but it consumes around 200W.
