wonder if there are any 98DX or other marvell chips in use by MT are able to do this (did not read all whitepapers - maybe someone knows someone who might have some insight 
)
Unfortunately, L3HW doesn't support VRF yet. The hardware (switch chip) supports it, but the feature has not yet been implemented in RouterOS. There are plans to add VRF L3HW, but I cannot share the ETA at the moment of writing.
They definitely are able to.
I agree, but Mikrotik cannot just add HW offloading. They need to add FastPath offloading for MPLS Push/Pop including VRF’s (L3VPN/VPNv4/VPNv6)
The Marvell based platforms are a very small part of their entire portfolio, and FastPath will benefit a lot more devices than just L3HW. Both are needed to deliver the best outcome for Mikrotik’s customers.
Not to mention the long overdue IPv6 FastPath module.
Logs full of connection lost for various devices
For example Samsung soundbar not moving inch, standing next to HAP AX3.
disconnected, connection lost, signal strength -24
disconnected, connection lost, signal strength -32
etc..
Also devices sometimes roam from 5 ghz to 2ghz again under for signal for no reason, or even flap around, 5ghz>2ghz>5ghz in like minute while not moving and under full signal (3m from router)
Disabled WPA3, disabled FT, etc, think i tried about everything.
Its same on 7.16 and 7.15…
Reverting to 7.14.3 fixes the problem.
thanks for the link
Totally agree. I’m confident they can implement that, considering the recent implementation of FastPath for VPLS.
a roadmap would be nice (wishful thinking)
I would guess that in order for RouterOS to interact with the chip to give hardware offload orders for features like L3VPN/VPNv4/VPNv6, they would need to do things like update the kernel they use and the Marvell SDK version.
I sincerely doubt they will have the will and courage to do that any time soon.
They should aim to keep up to date with kernel and sdk versions else we have situation like we did from ros6 to ros7 taking years as well as wifi6 taking
Well, they are using a fairly recent kernel - and the V7 series already had one kernel change. So, I think they learned their lesson with V6, and things are more decoupled this time.
How u checking kernel version?
/system/resource/usb
You should see something like:
0 1-0 Linux 5.6.3-64 uhci_hcd UHCI Host Controller 12
Easy Peasy just become a valued investor. 
Well, 5.6.3 is from 2020-04-08. IMHO that is far from recent.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tag/?h=v5.6.3
True - but is far from ancient. I said “fairly”, I didn´t say “brand new”. As long as Mikrotik keeps up with security patches - and backport them to this version - things will work.
At some point (I hope in a reasonably near future), it would be good to have a newer kernel. It must be balanced against what the hardware maker supports though. If Marvell, Qualcomm or doesn’t have SDK and drivers to a newer kernel… well, Mikrotik will have to keep the latest possible version, until hardware is deprecated.
Kernel version have been discussed many times before and like it was mentioned before it is being patched, so you cannot say that it is 5.6.3 in the form as it came out in 2020. Kernel version is updated when it is absolutely necessary or the actual gains are worth the effort.
Speaking about MPLS / VPLS, did someone try to see if the last versions are still losing packets on CCR2216? As far as I know, it is still an unresolved issue.
I am sure a XKCD comics exists for this.
At this point, I`m convinced there is one XKCD for everything in life.
