Hi.
Just want to share one idea that I am playing with for many years, doing/testing bits and pieces, of what I believe NEED TO BE a platform…
The subject is ROUTING.
Well, 3 days ago I just “found” the PERFECT hardware module to use, this time not for testing, instead, RockPI-S collection of features allows me to put into concrete practice this idea to have a ROUTING PLATFORM, made of many devices, instead of just using a monolithic home/office router devices (the one that we have today)…
Of course, we will continue to use monolithic home/office routers, but in the era of multiple PCs, Smartdevices, SBCs, PER PERSON, having many more routing devices makes a lot of sense, and, I believe, help to to extract the full utility and power of all the devices that we have…
More important, by using ONLY monolithic routers, WE FACE LIMITATIONS IN MANY WAYS…
These limitations are bad because it include limitations on our ability to “see” the possibilities, and of course, to seek them…
I believe we need to have a Routing Platform which is fully open, fully programmable (API) and fully controllable by the user… the current devices that exists are creating BARRIERS for the users to fully use and live the age of “net of everything”…
I think that an era of “net of everything” can only exist when we achieve a True Routing Control, so that we can control what routes data will take, how, when, etc…
The word “net” means “routes connected”, and when we are not in control of the net, then we are NOT users…
RPS
I am already convinced that RPS (RockPI-S) is something special because its combination of features, and yet, I was surprised to see how easy and powerful is the use of OTG-ETHER as Link Between RPS(s) when (and if) we thing RPS(s) as MODULES…
On RPS everything is SIMPLE!
This simplicity helps us to focus on doing things, creating something new…
We waste very little time setting things up…

PS. I have NOT, connected 4 units as depicted on the picture 1, I think it can be done…
