[SOLVED] Do "Half Fast Path" packets increment counters in /ip settings?

Fri Jun 12, 2015 10:44 am

I think the subject says it all.
I want to know it also to evaluate the CPU (un)load of this "half fast path" feature.

Half Fast Path is actually same Fast Path, but for some reason packet had to go to Slow Path in the middle of processing.

As we have no way of knowing if packet will be taken out of Fast Path in the moment of its arrival, answer is - YES! it is counted.
