You can find much slower machines able to route gigabit, the limitations are mostly on the bus and ability for the driver/chip to efficiently process notifications. We're only talking about 125MB/sec, and if any of that is bulk data utilizing the full MTU, as few as 81k packets/sec, represented in (modulo driver/chip/config) far fewer than 81k interrupts/sec
- piotrkubisa 7y agoYup. Please note the Ubiquity's edgerouters have similar pps rate in certain packet sizes [0], I guess it's because of slow Mediatek CPU. ER-X-family also is a bit crippled in terms of hardware offloading [1].
