The article above looks at mainly basic routing and throughout. Put a few thousand hosts behind it, 100s of NAT and QoS rules later and the numbers would be more useful.</div><div><br></div><div>With my nonexistent free time I’d love to put more real world traffic patterns (using the likes of Ostinato/Cisco TRex) through the current leaders with equivalent, complex feature-sets for better comparisons on both virtualised and baremetal hardware (standard x86 and/or purpose built x86 like the Lannertech boxes).<br><br><div dir="ltr"><div>- Tim</div></div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On 5 Oct 2019, at 12:36, Paul Wilkins <paulwilkins369@gmail.com> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>>> "if performance matters (and it does very much so), why would you be using <strong>_anything_</strong> virtualised at all..."</div><div><br></div><div><font size="2">Because it's not actually possible to write meaningful SLAs for time multiplexed services.</font></div><div><font size="2"><br></font></div><div><font size="2">At the end of the day I agree with Brad, if you need a performant system you want resident hardware.</font></div><div><font size="2"><br></font></div><div><font size="2">Kind regards<br></font>
