Hi, two questions in regard to CSS326-24G-2S+RM gigabit switch benchmarks on the https://routerboard.com/CSS326-24G-2SplusRM page (at the bottom of the page):
- they write that with 1518 byte frame, layer 2 throughput i is only 43Mbps (megabits per second?). Isn't that a bit slow for a gigabit switch? Am i missing something?
- what is the difference between throughtput and capacity in these benchmarks?

Thanks,
Wojtek

Not 43Mbps, but 43427.8 (43 THOUSAND)

I was looking to purchase this switch... what are the hardware specs?

Instead - I just picked up a used Quanta LB4m 48port (inc. 2 - 10Gbe SPF+ ports)....

I really want to use MikroTik SwOS -- howevever, without true LACP, I cannot. So for now it'll be MikroTik Routers and quanta switches.

Shout out to MIkroTik for suggestion:

Why not get some White box switches (brocade silicon) and use MirkoTik SWOS ontop? use the ONIE boot/installer.... It makes me question! As some GREAT white box hardware out there.

I would drool over MikroTik taking some whitebox switching hardware and making it their own. I'm sure many others would as well! Lets call it... MikroTik Enterprise switching / routing hardware. Similar to the CCR series

I'm very excited about this switch. Basic, low power and the 2x10gbe uplinks create some interesting use cases for me.

It would be absolutely perfect if they had 4-8 of the Gbe ports with POE/POE+.

It's a great idea but I think basic switching features like STP and LACP still need some work before moving to ONIE.
