• Excellent performance
• Run-to-completion pipeline
• Executes at CPU clock speed
• Separate CPU process for
forwarding
• >11 Gb/s per core
• Scales linearly with cores
• Good performance
• Nonlinear scaling within Kernel space
• Large % of flows require User space
• Control and forwarding compete for
same CPU resource
• <1 Gb/s per server
• Severely limited performance
• Performance drops dramatically
with services
• Requires ESX, 4 dedicated CPUs,
4Gig memory
• 250 Mbps per server
• >50 Mbps with services (i.e.
firewall/VPN… )
