Test Results for L3HW routing missing for CRS326-24S+2Q+RM

[mischa01101]

Hi,

is there a reason why there are no L3 hardware offloaded tests here: https://mikrotik.com/product/crs326_24s_2q_rm#fndtn-testresults
they exist e.g. for: https://mikrotik.com/product/crs354_48g_4splus2qplusrm#fndtn-testresults which has the same switch chip.

thx,

is there a reason why there are no L3 hardware offloaded tests here:

So far it seems that official benchmark is only done when device is introduced and they are not re-done after that. So it is likely that L3HW did not exist in ROS when CRS326 was introduced and they could not test it.

The fact that test results are likely to become obsolete (because they don’t reflect performance of device when running latest stable ROS) does seem pretty disturbing to me.

Thanks for this clarification. This is really disturbing. That would mean the numbers don’t reflect performance boost potentially done through newer releases? Should these tests be automated in CI/CDs these days? @mikrotik what’s the deal here?
