Hi
I have configured my CRS309 to be my lab inter-VLAN router with L3 HW offloading. So far, everything seems to work great and I wanted to check back on your opinions as I'm not sure how good of an idea this is. All the NAT lifting, site to site VPNs and so on is done by a separate hardware, as I guess the CRS309 could get overloaded with that, depending on how much traffic and firewall rules is going on there? Currently I do have around zero CPU load at the CRS309, even@little bit over 9 Gbps routing throughput between the two server networks.
I think that's a huge bang for the buck, if this is really going to work flawlessly in the long-term. Compared to competitor's hardware, the CRS309 costs next to nothing.
