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.

So the official spec sheet of MS510TXUP is wrong!
NOW I can buy a bunch of these 🙂
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

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...
/Peo
