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.

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.

- I 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…Got a reply from a Netgear UK "Level 2 Technical Support Expert" today that said:

I got feedback from the Product Manager:
14.8 Mfps is the max of a single 10G port. It’s not the packet forwarding rate of the whole MS510TXUP--snip--
I am glad I got an answer. And the answer is in line with what I would have expected. I.e that the spec on the switch was not correctly specified. Not the most elaborated answer I have seen though 🙂
That would mean this particular switch is the only Netgear switch I know of, or actually any switch I have seen (any brand) that would specify a forwarding packet rate per port, and at the same time in its spec sheet avoid mention it is per port and not for the whole switch...
As this value is so very low compared to a reasonable spec, I guess I can/should trust this answer and buy a couple of these switches...
