Well, that's kinda the point of actually doing performance tests! 8) If you didn't read the article, using 4 cores of a 7 year old CPU can route 12gbit of traffic at 13% cpu (or 17gbit on a 4 year old CPU), I think the actual data speaks for itself.
Unfortunately, after 20gbit, it gets hard to GENERATE that amount of traffic. When 100gbit connections are more common, it'll probably be easier. --Rob --Rob On Sat, 5 Oct 2019 at 09:52, Robert Hudson <[email protected]> wrote: > > Because the amount of CPU available on virtualised platforms is more than > sufficient for most people's needs?
