I like the idea for this, it’s not easy to implement something like this without experience, planning and knowledge. Even if there is no use for it, the lessons are there to be learned and experienced. I really thumbs up ts

Does the CRS305 run that hot that you need to add a fan? What SFP+ modules are you using?
Context: I recently bought QNAP QSW-M408-2C, kept getting random reboots with
- Ubiquiti's UF-MM-10G uplink to UDM-PRO
- DAC to my NAS (10G)
- and using one of the two 1/2.5/5/10 combo ports to my gaming desktop's Intel i225 (2.5gbe) about 20m of Cat6 cabling away
Random reboots occur regardless of network activity, and even when the gaming desktop is off. Might be getting 10G internet (SFP+ handoff from SuperInternet) in the near future and if it can't even handle minimal traffic, I was worried it can't handle when I start utilising my NAS over WAN (I shuttle between remote offices).
Have a CRS305 on the way to test with above modules, but will be storing it in unventilated open-door cupboard - am worried about heat.
TNSR doesn't have a firewall right?Tried the homelab free pricing version of tnsr on a bare metal appliance in the workplace lab. Overall it is much more optimized and better performance as compared to the conventional pfsense.
You can load up the free version to have some fun. It is very CLI based, therefore not for the faint of heart. It geared towards professionals.

I also trying to overcome the heat generated by CRS305 with 3x SFP+ to ethernet connector running at 10gbps each. really need a fan directly blow at it
the truth of 10gbps speed is only for iperf test, in my real world usage, it is limited by speed of my Nas(raid5), the ssd on my pc, max i get is around 400-500 mb/s transfer rate
Gigabit is 125MB/s before overhead, you're doing way over gigabit speeds.I also trying to overcome the heat generated by CRS305 with 3x SFP+ to ethernet connector running at 10gbps each. really need a fan directly blow at it

I not so zai, quite CLI adverse, if I can avoid will avoid.Yap. A software router. The documentation says can handle up to 100G.....no chance to test that throughput though.
You want to try?

100G hardware expensive also, mai lah

TNSR does have firewalling capabilities... But the more complexity you add (firewalling, nat etc) the more work the device has to do and thus you'll need more powerful hardware to achieve the same level of performance.
In terms of 100gbps interfaces, you have to consider the bandwidth of how they connect to the system. For instance a single 100gbps interface will be full duplex so 200gbps plus some overhead, while a pci express 4.0 x16 link can hit 256gbps. You'll need pretty capable hardware to make a 100gbps router with multiple interfaces and capable of driving them all at speed.
When 100mbps nics first came out, the ISA buses in commodity PCs of the day couldn't handle them at full speed.
When 1gbps nics first came out, the 32bit PCI buses in commodity PCs of the day couldn't handle them at full speed.
Highend routers have dedicated ASICs to handle routing, basically layer 3 switches, and such routers are typically not encumbered with any filtering rules etc either.
True lah, but the thought of configuring TNSR/VyOS or any other CLI only routers using CLI only intimidates meCLI may be intimating, but usually all you use is always the few repeated command haha
unless u configuring something like BGP router
Yeah I get that, and in some cases CLI is the only way you can get things done, like to patch your ESXi hosts without a vCenter Server Appliance.CLI is often more natural as it's more like having a conversation. Having a conversation with someone who has a limited and strict vocabulary.
It can also be more flexible and efficient in many cases.
