Hello, I need to upgrade my OpenBSD firewalls and have chance to buy HP DL360p G8 or Supermicro 5017R-WRF. Which card is better or more stable for firewalling BCM5719/20 or Intel I350? I see that I350 doesn't support VLAN_HWTAGGING nor TX CSUM's and it seems that is quite different from older em cards. On other hand BCM5719/20 cards are quite new but there was lot of development in a last couple of months. I prefer em over bge and I am willing to donate I350 for development, but if there are more interest in development bge card I will go with BCM5719/20.
Present firewall numbers are between 300-400Mbps and 40-60kpps. Thank you.
