Hardware and Performance / Small form factor SFP+ switch by Deciso?

« on: January 21, 2024, 06:09:43 am »

While DEC750 - 850 are nice devices, they only have 2 SFP+ ports. Would you consider making a small form factor switch with 4 or more SFP+ ports?

It seems possible since Mikrotik made CRS305-1G-4S+IN which has 4 SFP+ ports and is using way lower end hardware than DEC750. It would be nice to have such kind of switch but running open source system like OPNsense.

Thanks!

Hardware and Performance / Firewall throughput vs port to port firewall throughput?

« on: November 24, 2022, 01:46:13 am »

Official Opnsense hardware like DEC750 lists two metrics: firewall throughput (10 Gbps for it) and firewall port to port throughput (8.5 Gbps for it). What exactly is the difference and what does it mean?
