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
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 UDM Beast, Ubiquiti's next-generation gateway, pairs a Marvell Octeon CN10K SoC (with ARM Neoverse N2 cores) with a dedicated Marvell Prestera-class switching ASIC accessed via PCIe — capabilities that, properly used, would offload most of the per-packet forwarding work into hardware.
