Directly exchange packets from ethernet ports in i.MX 6SoloX

[MelissaArosemen]

As there’s no internal switch on the Ethernet controllers to directly pass packets from one Gb port to another, is there a way to do this without a switch? If not do you have any idea what overhead will be needed to pass them back and forth?

He have no ready solution of a switch based on i.MX processor.

I only know that there are some solutions for router. For example OpenWrt does support i.MX6.

Here I found a common discussion regarding to Linux based switch:

However please note that i.MX series are more multimedia than networking processors.

For networking purposes we can recomend some another processor.
