Faulty performance specs on MS510TXUP ?
Hi I think of buying a MS510TXUP switch. But the spec says it has only 14.8 Mpps packet forwarding rate. That would at 64byte packets give a 10Gbit/s packet rate for the whole switch. A switch th...

Hi
If someone is interested.... I have got a reply now from Netgear backline.
--snip--
Our engineers did some test on the MS510TXUP, they confirmed that the forwarding rate of total system is 104.17 Mfps.
--snip--
That sounds like a more reasonable value than the spec sheet 14.8 Mfps.
So the official spec sheet of MS510TXUP is wrong!
NOW I can buy a bunch of these 🙂

Hi BrianL
If you could help me on this I would be very grateful! Just want to buy hardware 🙂 But this issue is holding me back.

Hi peos42,
This is indeed correct and the same information is listed in the product datasheet.
Kind regards,
BrianL
- peos42Oct 30, 2024TutorI for sure know ir is listed on the datasheet. That was why I posted in the first place.
A little low capacity then for a switch with 80Gbit/s if max wirespeed on all ports. Ok, of course, not all package are 64 byte. But if so, the switch can only handle 1/8 of its max port capacity.
As a comparison you could also wonder why almost all other netgear switches have better fortwarding packet rate than this particular switch. As said, smaller netgear switches with a lot less total port capcity has 4 times more forwardimg packet rate. And my old S3300-28X has a forwarding packet rate spec that could give wire speed on all ports with only 64 byte packets.
Am I missing something here? I hope I do…
