    And we all know how easy it is to buy an ARM board, install Linux and add all the ethernet ports one desires.

    We do?

      I reckon it’s via an USB-Ethernet adapter.

      If you use USB Hubs you could theoretically add as many as you want on a single USB port if you daisy chain the Hubs (if it’s a really large number some of the Hubs must have external power).

      Granted, performance is limited.

      Never tried it, though, so maybe there are further limitations.
