I purchased an Arista DCS-7050QX-32S-F on ebay recently and have configured it as an edge router using the CPU for NAT, but I’m unable to forward more than 130Mbps to the internet. I was hoping someone could help me figure this out. I was expecting to at least get gigabit speeds.
I understand that this appliance doesn’t support line rate NAT in hardware, but… come on… shouldn’t most everything from the last few years be able to handle gigabit?
I run netdata on the switch and notice a small spike in softirq when running a speed test.
