How are you measuring that? We have a dual-Opteron 2 GHz box with 4 GB RAM that handles routing for 7 fibre-connected sites (1 Gbps fibre links but limited by the firewalls at the sites to 100 Mbps) and connects to the Internet via a 1 Gbps link. All the routing on this box is handled via static routes, and we get a sustained 10 Mbps of traffic through the box. Nobody's complained about their access (which isn't surprising since we upgraded their Internet connections from a 2 Mbps shared cable connection to a dedicated 1 Gbps fibre link). FreeBSD 6.1-p11, about 100 ipfw rules, doing NAT for 4 servers, using 2x bge(4) devices and 1x fxp(4) device. -- Freddie Cash [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-performance@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-performance To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
