I'm not sure I can help with this, but I'd love to know what hardware you are running this on.
Actually, I'd love to hear anyone's input on the capacities of their Bering boxes, what they are doing with them, and what hardware they run on. - Bob Coffman -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ronny Aasen Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2003 7:34 AM To: leaf Subject: [leaf-user] reduce load on a bering box hello due to unforseen circumstances. we had to replace a hp routerswitch with a linux bering router. this router now routes 4096 real addresses with some 2500-3000 computers some natted behind other firewalls) 4 nicks 100 mbit, with eth0 to a 20 mbit link to the internet. and runs zebra and ospfd but. i have noticed that if i have shorewall up, the load gets quite high, and i also have a few packetdrops. with shorewall down i have 0 load and no packet drops. i need to filter/firewall between the 4 nic's to avoid forwarding rfc1918 packets to default gw, and filter access to the router itself. evrything else is go i guess a few manual iptables entries is a solution, but a shorewall config to minimise load would be preferable. can the bering 1.2 kernel be optimized for better performance in such a situation ? any thoughts ? mvh Ronny Aasen -- Ronny Aasen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
