CRS328-24P-4S+RM for 180mb/sec routing

Sat Apr 03, 2021 1:34 pm

I have a licensed microwave setup that is a big L2 network but this year it's going to grow and I need to get off the giant L2 network over to some L3 routing; each site having it's own L2 network and route between them.

The fastest link is around 180mb/sec with almost all the traffic going to the main site. In reality it's mostly telemetry data, probably no more than 25kb/sec. But I do plan on hanging IP cameras around the sites so at times I could in theory maximize the 180mb links.

I see that the CRS328-24P-4S+RM can route around 270mb/sec. Am I crazy trying to keep things simple and do routing and switching in CRS328-24P-4S+RM if my demands won't hit the theoretical routing throughput of the CRS328-24P-4S+RM?

Having POE, 24 port switch and routing in one package is appealing.

Unless you want to run a complex firewall with many filter rules, CRS328 should be capable of doing basic L3 routing. Moreover, CRS328 should get L3 Hardware Offloading in near future, boosting its routing performance close to wire-speed.
