Could be lots of reasons depending on your config.

Here are the lists of conditions, that must be met:

IPv4 fast path is automatically used if following conditions are met:

firewal rules are not configured;

LOL, in this case Fast Path absolutely useless
I do not have routerboards without firewall rules

For LAN bridge without VLANs configured the conditions are met.
Same thing for L3 switch interconnecting different subnets inside a big LAN.
So it clearly depends on what is your device used for :slight_smile:

Fastpath is just a foundation, that you need to use fasttrack.
