Anyone compared a routed solution with
a Mikrotik bridged solution for delay/jitter?
Good question. But the problem there is creating a real world test
environment. Convergence, can be tested somewhat accurately in low network
utilization situations. To adequately test Jitter/Delay you really need to
load the network, as that is when the jitter and sparatic latency happens.

The delay in switching a packet at hardware is less than the delay in
routing a packet at software. This is 1 of the reasons that Cisco created
the G"S"R and why an MPL"S" switched network is fast than a plain routed
network.
I'm not too interested in convergence times as we only have very minimal
outages so RSTP should suffice. How fast a packet can traverse our network
on the other hand is important so that we can reliably run VoIP and other
delay/jitter sensitive applications. Anyone compared a routed solution
with
a Mikrotik bridged solution for delay/jitter?

We too have been looking at moving from routed to a switched Mikrotik for
the core network but the unknown quantity seems to be if there are any
latency or speed issues related to the move. A "true" switched network is
faster than a routed network as the switching is done at a hardware level
but in Mikrotik I believe both switching and routed is done in software.
What have you seen?
Faster in what way? Certainly, a routed network is going to beat a
switched network in terms of covergence speed.
