alt Hacker NewsI have gigabit fiber and none of this is an issue.
VLAN hopping is only possible due to misconfiguration. I'd like to be proven otherwise if that's not the case. VLANs are used EVERYWHERE where it matters. And no, the single port is absolutely not a bottleneck because the port is full-duplex.

The bottleneck exists, but is a non-issue for most home use as most consumer connections are wildly asymmetric, usually biased towards download.

What happens if one node on your network is downloading at 1Gbit and another is uploading at 1Gbit?
Both get 500Mbit.
Bottleneck.

I agree VLAN hopping is not possible without misconfiguration but it still is a "concern" for some. I also make extensive use of VLANs on my home network.
If you're trying to push close to a gigabit up and down simultaneously that single port will become a bottleneck. I agree for most typical use cases it is not a concern.
