   @nuintari @stefano The funny part is once we get vector packet processing it's gonna be like 10x performance on the same CPUs

     Juniper's vSRX is a resource HOG.

     4x CPU cores, and 8 GB ram:

     Maximum speed I'm seeing? About 380 mbit.

     Same host, #FreeBSD router with 2x CPUs, and 4 GB ram, and spending a huge chunk of that on ZFS:

     4,800 mbit, and the host freely admits they are in dire need of another 10gigE link, minimum.

     I loves me some JunOS, but god damn, the vSRX platform is dogshit.

     My vSRX is technically licensed for six CPU cores, but that didn't make it much faster.
