I appreciate I'm a new poster here so hopefully this comes across as constructive.
While I think this doesn't apply to many, would it be possible to do get performance metrics on switches? In particular latency.
It could be nice to see the characteristics of 100/50/25, etc to 10/1 interfaces and vice versa. Have they artichitected CT processing in these scenarios or SF. Do they have differences in latency vs frame size (probably with the latter). While getting line rate on a single interface with a constant stream of data isn't quite a stress test, how will it handle bursts? Do they have tunable buffers, etc. The Dell S5248F review for example gives an overall performance rating, but there isn't a single tested performance metric mentined in the article. What is that based on?
This may be beyond the intended purpose of the reviews, but perhaps go a bit more in depth into the actual capability, especially when you get into the higher performance catagory? Not sure how critical internal board layouts are to most folks.
