hello, everyone...

could someone knows...

the SoC3 on the some small boxs like 60E does support this h/w function????

sorry...

I think my question is not clear....

 

I'm just curious...

prev SoC like v1 or v2, these chips does not provide h/w shaper and poor CPU performance....

but new SoC3...

AFAIK, better CPU performance, better I/O throughput and improved NPU....

just I don't know whether it dose provide h/w shaper or not...

 

so my question is h/w traffic shaper is available for SoC3????

 

I have no any SoC3 box....

but will have plan to buy it....

 

thanks..

I've got a 60E here and of course it supports traffic shaping. Even my old 60B did.

I think (but that's speculation) that TS is a software feature. It might be offloaded to an NP in higher class FGTs, right. But it does work even in the desktop models, without apparent CPU load (judging from a 80C with ~ 30 Mbps throughput and heavy traffic shaping by IP).

I've noticed many features dragging the CPU down in smaller models but TS was not one of them.
