I understand, 15552 Mbps / 16 cores = 972 Mbps vs. 287 Mbps.
That would be excellent! I personally consider the 287 Mbps of the 1072 in the mentioned complex confiuration quite good too, I dont complain. But I had no reference, thank you!

On the CCRs single stream = single core. And the TILE cores aren't very fast; the CCR1072 just has a lot of them. Dividing the 20691 Mbps by 72 gets you 287 Mbps per core, matching your result. If you want better single stream performance, get something with beefier cores, like a CCR2xxx. Thats a g...

Move the 2nd rule in your 3rd code-snippet to the prerouting-chain.

The output-chain is for traffic the router itself produces. You cant conn-mark in prerouting and route-mark this in the output-chain. There is simply nothing which will match, which correlates with your observation :D

Re: v6.49 [stable] is released!

The problem with rebooting is connected with Queues. Spent 7 hours with that! :-( Simple rules are broken and causing problems. Tested on CCR1036 r1. Does this refer to "my" problem with the long reboot sequence? My next step for the coming week was to do a full reset and then - step by s...

CRS and wire-speed?

Hi,

just a small question, I plan to use a CRS 326-24G-2S+RM, when using ROS and creating a Bridge (adding all Ports to the Bridge), will I get Wire-Speed between the ports (the small "H" is present)?

Thanks
