General • Re: CHR or Ethernet router?

Generally I'd guess that for higher throughputs using CHR on decent hardware would be more cost effective solution than using a powerful MT router. And I'd guess that single core CPU speed is the most important parameter when choosing hardware for running CHR.
Thank you MKX for all the info, on both sides I will have MT's and the question is whether on the server side it will be a CHR or a router. Now when you say single core CPU, the systems I have in mind will definitely have 6 cores at least, not because I have some absolute requirement but simply because they come with these and there is no way around...Since I will be using VMware Workstation pro with the CHR (if I go with it) are you saying that CHR can only take advantage of one core only or that the speed of that clock matters the most ? Also a CHR machine (I mean the hardware) will set me back at least 350-400 USD, just thought to mention it as well.
In short:

1. If you're running CHR/x64, use IPsec. This platform can scale up practically infinitely.
2. If you're running a Mikrotik with AES hardware acceleration, use IPsec. Check throughput limitation using the 512-byte column on the product page.
3. In all other cases, use WireGuard.


Thank you Larsa!
