In most cases, I don’t even bother to add default routes to new hosts as OSPF floods the default route from my edge device.įor these tests, I wanted to use KVM. At last count, I think I have at least 8 hops from one end of my network to the other, so OSPF simplifies adding new subnets behind various routers. I’ve got a LOT of routing going on in my network. ![]() I’ll be replacing the firewall image in this picture with the various victims. They say a picture tells a thousand words, so I think a simple network diagram should illustrate the setup: Or maybe you’d like the results when I ran the test on ESXi HERE. If you are just interested in the final results, they are HERE. The CHR, Debian, VyOS installs won’t have firewalls running. ![]() UDP obviously gave much bigger numbers, but I’m interested in TCP for right now.įor the purpose of testing and to make all things equal, pfSense and OPNSense will be running with NAT disabled and pfctl -d, to remove the potential slow-downs from packet inspection. I tried a number of different combinations of window sizes, number of streams, etc, and everything was pretty close to equal. All tests were done with iperf3 -c IP -P2.Mikrotik Cloud Hosted Router 6.45.3, unlimited license (CHR).So I decided to put them all head-to-head in a virtual setting and see how they fare. As part of that, I’ve spent a lot of time exploring the various virtual routing platforms, trying to eek out the best performance possible. ![]() ![]() Over the last few years, I’ve become enamored with routing.
