Have look at Mikrotik CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS (1G-12S+2XS means 1x1Gbps RJ45, 12xSFP+, 2xSFP28) or CCR2116-12G-4S+ (12G-4S+ = 12x1Gbps RJ45, 4xSFP+), depending how m

Have look at Mikrotik CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS (1G-12S+2XS means 1x1Gbps RJ45, 12xSFP+, 2xSFP28) or CCR2116-12G-4S+ (12G-4S+ = 12x1Gbps RJ45, 4xSFP+), depending how many ports and what kind of routing performance you need (check the block diagrams, they tell the story). However, neither of them will route 80 Gbps full duplex. Then there is CCR2216-1G-12XS-2XQ (1x1Gbps, 12xSFP28, 2xQSPF28); this one is supposedly capable of routing shy of 200 Gbps @1518 packet size. Edit: another thing on Mikrotik naming conventions: CRS = switches; CCR = routers.

If people have anywhere near 80 to 200 Gbps of real world IP traffic and are thinking of using a mikrotik for it, they seriously need to re-examine the revenue from customers that's going through that >50Gbps of traffic, business risk profile and how serious they are about things... At that scale you'd better have a redundant identical twin pair of routers with 1+1 or N+1 redundant everything (fans, power supplies, routing engines, etc) 24x7x365 service contract, and so on. Not something you can or should do with mikrotik.

  juniper mx204 would be a great box for this.. but far pricier then mikrotik..

We only have 50Gbps of connectivity between peer, IXP, and transit links and today's 30Gbps is high because of end-of-month activities. We got the Infinity largely because it was the only EdgeRouter that could do what we needed. Like the gap between EdgeRouter Infinity and "every other router that can do what it does," there's a rather large gap in Ubiquiti's EdgeRouter line. The next one down in the list is the EdgeRouter-12 that is a small fraction of the capability of the Infinity. > another thing on Mikrotik naming conventions: CRS = switches; CCR = routers That's good to know. I hadn't started down the Mikrotik path yet but I'll give it a look. We have a leaf router at a small office where we experiment and maybe I can put one in there to start. Thanks for all of the information!

10gbps at full-size packets is 812,743pps 10,000,000,000/(1538*8) = 812,743.82 200gbps is 20x this rate, or 16,254,876pps This is 9% higher than the 10gbps packet rate for 'line rate', 14,880,952 pps, which can be done on a single core these days. https://docs.fd.io/csit/rls1807/report/detailed_test_results/vpp_performance_results_3n_skx/vpp_performance_results_3n_skx.html#ge2p1x710-ethip4-ip4base-ndrpdr https://docs.fd.io/csit/rls1807/report/detailed_test_results...

  They do indeed claim 16 254,8 kpps. They have l3hw offload - so not every packet needs to go via cpu - and 16 cores.
