Hi

Low power and system load are both worth putting some dimensions on.

A very simple system may be ok with a single client running into it and 
nothing else going on. A system that will handle 500 hits a second is 
something altogether different.

Low power could be < 100 watts, it also could be < 100 milliwatts. There 
will be a power / load tradeoff ….

Since you already seem to have a bit of this and a bit of that (high power 
server, low power Pi) it is worth considering exactly where you are going 
with this new build.

Bob
==========================================

Bob,

The maximum test rate I could produce was 75 packets/second, and the 
Raspberry Pi handled that without any problem.

Cheers,
David
