Yeah, 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...
