About Fast Path on x86

Mon Apr 12, 2021 12:36 pm

Mikrotik said that fast path is a feature of Linux kernel. Why can't it be implement on x86 ? I known there is no HWNAT in Tilera chipset but It indeed have fast path. So the reason is they can't or just they don't want to?

For many reasons I suspect.

There are too many variations on x86 platforms.

It is easier to support platforms that Mikrotik have developed end-to-end, and they also know how they will perform under various loads.
