My system specifications is as below: -
Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz
1024MB DDR RAM
eth1 and eth2 is National Semiconductor
eth3 and eth4 is Realtek 8139

Hi all,
I have one bridge system (used for controlling bandwidth) connected
to three different DSL ISP provider. I have the following setup
below: -
+-------------+
| br0 |
| -> eth1 | -> DSL_1
| -> eth2 |
+-------------+
| br1 |
| -> eth3 | -> DSL_2
| -> eth4 |
+-------------+
| br2 |
| -> eth5 | -> DSL_3
| -> eth6 |
+-------------+
br0 has eth1 and eth2; br0 has no ip address
br1 has eth3 and eth4; br0 has no ip address
br2 has eth5 and eth6; br0 has no ip address
The traffic of DSL_1 ISP will pass thru br0. The traffic of DSL_2
ISP will pass thru br1. The traffic of DSL_3 ISP will pass thru br2.
I have a question. Is it ok I do it as above in 1 system with 3
bridges or separate it to 3 system with each system have their own
bridge?
Regards,
ro0ot
One system with three bridges will work fine. The only advantage of
separate systems would be the increased CPU and bandwidth available.
As long as you are using a fast enough processor and memory, you
should be fine. A normal 32 bit/33 Mhz PCI bus peaks at about 600
Mbits/sec. Double that for 64 bit and double again for 66 Mhz (PCI-X).
PCI-express, not sure yet.
