I see the switching results specs of the CRS, and they do appear to be line rate. However, its still very unclear if enabling those features on the CRS features list use the slow CPU, and then get you into the bridging results which are much slower than line rate.
I don't see the L2 security features I am looking for. Are they missing from Mikrotik, or just called something else?
