Do zones cost performance?
hello all,
I was wondering if a zone with just one interface in it has drawbacks. I couldn't find any information about how zones are handled, for instance, if they have to be processed by the CPU and not offloaded to the NP.
Has anybody ever tested this or seen it in real life? I'd appreciate any comment.

I've used them on several devices (small, medium, large; on 5.2.4) and found no performance issue.
On some projects/networks I think it is good to use them.
Cheers!
