Throughput on inter vdom link

Hello All.

 

Did anyone ever measured the max thoughput on the inter vdom links?

Looking for this information online, but wasn't able to find it.

    I did not. On the second thought I can't imagine much value in such testing - the feature is purely software based and done on CPU, so it will depend heavily on hardware model and CPU load at any given time, i.e. measuring even the same link at different times would give different results.

    If you have an npu vdom link available, it will be as fast as the physical interface you are routing from, uses hardware offload
