CHR will long term have very high performance. It is their VM offering for the "cloud". They are planning on integrating the Intel DPDK toolkit to provide "Fast-Path" on x86. This will provide wire-speed throughput on supported platforms, e.g. VMWare (VMXNet3) and KVM(VirtIO). This is the same toolkit used by AlcatelLucent in their vSR product and Juniper in the vMX. There is a bunch of interesting info on DPDK in this presentation http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/presentation/dpd...

I have about 10 Vmware ROS VM's and when I did testing previously I could get up around 1Gb/s
But where I have failed recently is VMWare can drop inbound packets if the rx queue gets full and the only way to find this is via esxtop or esxcli ... you need to investigate the actual portgroup. Would me nice if they would allow us to modify the rx buffer size, but ..

Actually I retract my last comment :-}
Interfaces on our zettagrid platform show up as 100mbps, but interfaces on our local vsphere platform, interfaces connect at 1gbps, and btest to a local router give gb speeds :)
Cheers, Mike.

Yes - ditto,
Ethernet drivers are 100mbps ;)
Cheers!

If it's anything like under XenServer, you'll be limited to 100mbps (Xenserver shows 100mbps media to the HVM guest unless they're using Citrix's drivers). Using virtio I max out around 900mbps each direction.

Whatever the reason, it is certainly a very interesting and cool development - there are a growing number of RouterOS deployments like
this,
and it will definitely be one to watch! :)
Out of interest, what level of performance should I expect if I were to deploy RouterOS on an ESX server without the vmxnet3 driver?
The use case here is as a home router - I currently use an RB1100, which routes my NBN connection with no issues, and handles routing between 3 VLANs. I often move 600-800 megabits within a VLAN, but traffic routed between VLANs is rarely more than 5-10mbps.
Not sure I want to operate my router as a VM yet - introduces various new failure modes - but am curious what the performance would look like if I were to try it. _______________________________________________ Public mailing list Public@talk.mikrotik.com.au
