I found

> [Ziti performance benchmark](https://openziti.discourse.group/t/ziti-performance-benchmark/640)

but if I were to to do this in my environment, are there any existing tests / documentation I can refer to?

For want of being exhaustive, I assume you have already read this @av-dev ??

i.e., those tests were run using iPerf3 with default settings and 60 second tests, run both directions and set out location to location.

Admittedly, it indicates if smart routing is being used with Ziti fabric in locations other than source and destination. Is that the root of your question? Are there specifics you would like to understand on testing and documentation??

Yes, I went through that. I would like to replicate those tests in my environment to get more relevant results, if that makes sense.

I can start with iperf and see how far I can go.
