You8000 Speed Troubles

Are you getting the advertised 7000Mbps speeds?

I'm going to give it a go again tomorrow to switch. I will not hold my breath that they make the change flawlessly and retain my IP. I'm on the 2Gb service now, so realistically it's a very...very simple logical change on their side.

While materially, nothing has changed in my network, I have cleaned things up a bit to remove some copper that may have been an issue, but I don't think it was.
 
Good stuff - I found that the speed test on the UDM Pro doesn't quite hit the full throughput. With IDS/IPS disabled - I was seeing ~8Gbps each way on iperf3, but UDM Pro was maxing out at 6Gbps.

I've re-enabled IDS/IPS now and getting ~4Gbps down and 6-7Gbps upload.

Nice to know what the UDM Pro can do on these sorts of connections. I've got a Dream Router which struggles to get even 700mbit with IDS/IPS disabled.... will be getting the Dream Machine Pro at some point soon.
Netomnia is in my neighbourhood so hopefully won't be long!

You can better bang for your buck, unless theres a reason to stick with the UDM / Ubiquiti itself.
 
For the record...

ESXi 8. EPYC 7543 with 8 vCPUs to it.
Zero judgment here. 24 vCPUs feeding my WAN gateway. Would prefer to run with fewer but it's doing a whole bunch of things as it's enterprise SD-WAN so every bit of every packet gets inspected.

TDP 225 Watts to power a gateway... :eek:

It's a VM, so:
1) it's probably not doing only that,
2) TDP != power consumption, so unless you're surprised about the heat generated then "ehh".

24vCPU for a gateway to me feels wild. I stuck to physical because I'd hate the VM host to be down and then have *another* problem in that the internet was also :D

AMD Ryzen 5700G 65W TDP

In the example machine idles around 38-40W, when used it peaks around 80W..

So yeah, TDP is an excellent indicator of typical power consumption...

Exactly. If it were only doing that, it wouldn’t be a VM. NAS, network controller, monitoring box, PLEX server, VPN, general playground. Still overkill, but it works for me.

Eventually I’ll get some proper IDS/IPS going, but there’s no immediate need. I‘d thought about running TNSR as well, but OPNSense works well for now so…other than to simply play around, no need for it.

I got the CPU for a pretty good deal too. AND, it was cheaper to buy locally and ship to the US than keeping the purchase local.
 
Unless you're running the device at 100% thankfully no, it isn't.

The machine next to me is presently drinking 225 W. It has 2 x 200 W TDP CPUs in it alongside 2 lots of spinning rust, 2 NVMe drives, 2 SATA SSDs, 2 x 2 port SFP28 NICs and a Pensando DSC all fed by 192 GB of ECC RAM.

The lower the TDP of the part the more likely you are to be at or close to it as there's no thermal overhead between loaded and idle.

As you can probably gather from all the storage it's used for quite a bit more than just gateway duties.

2 connections and a relatively low power router on the second one running VRRP with the main gateway VM works nicely to prevent this problem, other ways that don't need two connections also of course :)

Workstation example posted has 2 x NVMe, 4 x SSD (ZFS mirror/stripped drive pool) + 2 x 2 Intel X570 SFP+ cards running 2 VM's & 4 nested containers per VM.. Focus is 100% on power efficiency per watt

Citation please, that's not my experience in any way shape or form..
