You've thrown out a lot of performance numbers here but most of us aren't compliling rust on our routers. Have you stood up iperf to see how fast it routes? The task is harder than you think if you want any features to go with that and there's a good reason most vendors (Mikrotik and Ubiquiti included) offload most of the task to silicon.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 4y agoI suspect the majority of consumer gigabyte routers are never saturated. The technology has eclipsed typical demand. Not that there should be deceptive marketing or performance cheating, but I suspect 95%+ of people will never be limited by their network gear.
- sliken 4y agoYeah, sure, but it's frustrating. Sure casual users who won't saturate the network get fast offloaded performance. However more aggressive users will end up enabling more complicated firewall rules, QoS, buffer bloat mitigation, or deep packet inspection and disabling the silicon based acceleration or bottlenecking elsewhere. Thus my interest in the RK3588, that provides 4x the PCIe of the RPi4 and a fair bit more CPU. I do wish there was a popular benchmark that used a more realistic benchmark. Smaller packets, dozens or 100s of TCP sessions, non-trivial firewall rules, etc. Doesn't seem like you learn much from iperf managing 95% of of line rate with large packets. But here's the iperf numbers I stumbled across: https://www.cnx-software.com/2022/11/12/nanopi-r6s-review-unboxing-teardown-openwrt-22-03-iperf3/ https://www.cnx-software.com/2022/11/12/nanopi-r6s-review-un...
