It's not a SwitchOS (which can and should be ignored) versus RouterOS issue, more that Mikrotik is limited by the capabilities of the off-the-shelf switching SoCs they have to use due to their size. Once you run into limitations there

Yes, it does have hardware offload, but that works better in theory than it does in practice. (For doing line-rate NAT with more than a handful of clients, it's not an option, mostly because of the state table limits already mentioned

Quick note on the CRS312: while absolutely lovely as a switch, you have to be careful about what exactly you want to do with it, as, as with the entire Mikrotik range, it can do absolutely everything (provided you can wrap your head aro

Full disclosure: after a week of various things happening to me, the CrowdStrike thing was not a thing that affected me. I don't feel better, worse, or, basically anything because of that fact. And no, none of the options swit

The "cyber sector" is... awful? Nah... irresponsible? Nah... immature? Yeah, probably! Right now, pretty much everyone is looking to outsource their "security" to a single vendor, disregarding the fact that security is n

Well, CA wines are, on the whole, ridiculously overpriced. A lot of people moved in on that, making it not entirely unlikely that supply now outstrips demand? Same thing happened in various regions in France at various points in time. The

Yeah, I imagine it, and still don't see how the flame graph would help? Shown as a hierarchical bar chart, this would suggest 'b' is problematic. Where, color-wise (because peak-wise, 'c' would be the culprit here)

Well, thank you for pointing out that hierarchical bar charts do a pretty good job at showing the hot path. So my (and I guess your) workflow is then to fix the top-X hot paths, and then re-profile, etc. The attraction of flame graphs, as I
