Why Your Ubiquiti EFG Can't Push 25 Gbps Inter-VLAN — and What's Actually Going On

Why Your Ubiquiti EFG Can't Push 25 Gbps Inter-VLAN — and What's Actually Going On

Or: How I Reproduced the Problem on x86, Tried to Load the Missing Modules on the Real Device, and What That Tells Us About Ubiquiti's Kernel


TL;DR

Ubiquiti markets the Enterprise Fortress Gateway (EFG) as a 25-gigabit-class router. The product page lists two 25 GbE SFP28 ports for WAN/LAN, and Ubiquiti positions the device as a flagship for medium and large enterprise deployments. Its silicon — a Marvell Octeon CN9670 — supports hardware-accelerated forwarding through purpose-built network engines (NIX) that should sustain tens of millions of packets per second. The Cloud Gateway Max ("UDM Beast") pairs a Marvell Octeon CN10K SoC with a dedicated Marvell switch ASIC, and on paper should comfortably exceed 100 Gbps aggregate.
