A few weeks ago, Jim Thompson from Netgate stumbled across my [APU6 Post]({{< ref "2021-07-19-pcengines-apu6" >}})
and introduced me to their new desktop router/firewall the Netgate 6100. It currently ships with
[pfSense Plus](https://www.netgate.com/pfsense-plus-software), but he mentioned that it's designed
as well to run their [TNSR](https://www.netgate.com/tnsr) software, considering the device ships
with 2x 1GbE SFP/RJ45 combo, 2x 10GbE SFP+, and 4x 2.5GbE RJ45 ports, and all network interfaces
are Intel / DPDK capable chips. He asked me if I was willing to take it around the block with
VPP, which of course I'd be happy to do, and here are my findings. The TNSR image isn't yet
public for this device, but that's not a problem because [AS8298 runs VPP]({% post_url 2021-09-10-vpp-6 %}),

This allows for, I think, a pretty sweet comparison between FreeBSD, Linux, and DPDK/VPP. Now, on to a

Since my last loadtesting [post]({{< ref "2021-07-19-pcengines-apu6" >}}), I've learned a lot
more about packet forwarding and how to make it easier or harder on the router. Let me go into a
few more details about the various loadtests that I've done here.
