Raspberry Pi 3 should do fine, not to mention some of the more powerful boards -- there are now up to 8-core, up to 1.7 GHz ones. Even though the core number won't help you too much, you shouldn't underestimate what a modern 64-bit ARM can do. Especially if the task at hand is mere 10 Mbps. -- With respect, Roman
