Hello,
according to documentation Windows 2012 R2 can be used as an EBGP router. It seems that the routing table isn't limited so theorically can support multiple full routing tables.
Someone tried to use Windows as a BGP router with multiple peers and different full routing tables?
Someone tested the routing performance of a Windows router? I don't find any documents from Microsoft regarding packet forwarding performance measurement in MPPS. I know that these benchmark are strictly related to hardware performance: CPU performance, memory speed and mostly to NIC efficiency in IRQ handling (Chelsio NIC for example are uncomparable in IRQ handling) and also to NIC offload features. Someone can report performance data collected declaring the specific hardware configuration used?
Someone knows if Windows 2012 R2 routing stack uses Intel DPDK to speedup routing? I read something about a technology called Microsoft Packet Direct that is probably based on Intel DPDK but I think it will be available only from Windows 2016. Someone at Microsoft can shed light on this technology? It will be be used only to speedup virtual-switching or also routing?
Thanks in Advance,
Davide
