Interested mostly in cpu usage in that scenario. Throughput is not good measure, but steady cpu usage (With low and steady latency, no packet drops/retry)

make the label easily readable (I know, I am a bit picky…).

It’s a nice change from the usual whining 40mm fans if this thing ends up in an edge scenario that is close to people; but I’d want to be sure that there aren’t any special requirements in terms of what is racked above or below imposed by the fanless design if considering it for a deployment that is based on a shallow switch rack, possibly with a lightweight edge server or two.
