Hi,
Having recently split a flat network into VLANs, I am noticing reduced througput with inter-vlan routing. This is hardly surprising. I'm using an MX84, which has a 'statefull firewall throughput' advertised at 500 Mbps. [MX84 Datasheet]
Conveniently, this MX is due to be replaced in the next few months, so I'm wondering which model can provide 1Gbps inter-vlan routing. Looking at the current sizing guide [link] I'm unsure about the differences between the descriptions of the top 3 columns.
- I assume 'max throughput with all security features enabled' is WAN throughput?
- And 'Max stateful (L3) firewall throughput in passthrough mode' is inter-VLAN routed firewall throughput?
Have I got that right?
So, assuming I have a 1Gbps WAN circuit, and also want 1Gbps inter-vlan routing, and want to achieve these speeds on both, the minimum model I would pick is the MX95?
Thanks in advance.
