[AusNOG] routeros v Vyatta

[Alex Samad - Yieldbroker]

My initial test was centos 6.5 with vmxnet3 nic, same vlan vm's on different hosts. Iperf got me 9.1+ Gb/s (pretty sure I got this with the e1000 ealier as well  but ...)
RouterOS to RouterOS same esx host with e1000, the most I could get was around 750Mb/s The other thing in my digging into the forums, there was an early request to move to MSI interrupts and different chipset, cause an issue with routerOS was it was bound to 1 cpu for routing and this was limiting throughput.


I am leaning towards  RouterOS on the outside of the firewall and Vyatta on the inside.

Seems like I can do all I want with the community edition too that's nice ! [ thanks Nathan]

Alex,

Across how many interfaces is the traffic aggregated?

Cheers

Hi

Been using routerOS for nearly 6 months, like the interface and cost :)

But I am now running into limitation in routing speed, I can't seem to push them past 1Gb/s running them on ESX 5.5 with the e1000 driver, I am looking into trying the e1000e driver there is some hope I might be able to get more than 1G.

So I come back to the list to find out if people have been using Vyatta and how they find it.  How does it compare to routerOS.

Key features I am looking at

OSPF
BGP ... including filtering etc etc
Firewall
Routing
