I think this is a great idea. Maybe not a huge market, but I would buy
them, instead of having to use dumb transceivers.

It would be interesting to have some other smart SFP options too, like
macsec for example...

I actually emailed RAD, MethodE and Avago yesterday and pitched the idea.

MiTOP is my exact justification why it should technically be feasible.

I guess it would be easier to pitch, if there would be commitment to buy,
but I don't personally need many units, just 1-2 here and there.

There is absolutely no reason that you couldn't deliver 'media

or '2 port switch' in a SFP casing

Yes, similar devices exist

so it probably just needs more demand
