Hello All!
Just wanted to ask:
1. Is there some sort of formula i can use to
determine the minimum amount of RAM and processor i
need?
2. Is there any benefit in using a multicore processor
with an smp-aware kernel in terms of routing
performance? Or does it have more to do with the
amount of RAM installed?
3. Is it still true that fw appliances still have an
edge over pc routers in terms of performance? For all
we know these "fw appliances" are running linux under
the hood, with your typical mobo placed inside a fancy
box
4. can a pc router match the performance of a (layer
3) switch?
