Which one would be a better solution for a VPN router? Have only one Ethernet MAC connected to a switching chip (WAN on one vlan, = LAN ports assigned to second vlan) or have 2 Ethernet MACs (1 connected dir= ectly to a PHY used for WAN, other connected to a switching fabric and used= for LAN). WAN traffic will be lower than what a single port on the switchi= ng chip can handle.
