64B traffic simply doesn’t happen apart from DDoS scenarios, so why bother at all? Customers anyway want to use dedicated
ACK. And as such, you're not going to get DDoS on all ports at the same time. So you just need to have enough ports on a chip and even very high average packet size, is more than enough. And if you absolutely need 64B on every port, that's easy, just put putty on the remaining ports, boom. The problem is when you rock 1 chip per port and you don't get 64B. But if it's 8, 16, 32 ports per chip, 64B is simply not needed. And like you said, QoS and filters usually have 0 pps cost. Only feature that typically has pps cost is uRPF which is not really needed for anything. -- ++ytti
