Not sure if i't what you're asking for, but... RH 3.2 on a pentium 75: 10Mb coax w/ 3Com etherlink III combo cards... As a workstation - ~7Mbps transfers through a linux router (exact same specs as the workstation - used as a dynamic router, but no DNS - this was supported by a SUN server) - this had 10Mb ether on each side...
RH 6.2 on a PII-450: Same ethernet cards as above, two different configurations for the internal network - used to be on thin ether (50 ohm coax), recently migrated to CAT-5... Transfer rates between M$ Win98 & the server ~8-9Mbps. Through the server - running apache, samba, masq'ing connections, ipchains firewall, sshd, sendmail, & some other stuff - maxed out the throughput of the cable modem (~1.5Mbps down & 256kbps up)... Load meters during biggest loads (starting a game on the server & piping it's output through X windows - while doing a large download via ftp/http) showed my disk doing some peaky stuff, but the processor kept a load average below 10%... When the game quit loading, I could hardly tell a difference between a transfer going through or not... > -----Original Message----- > From: Thierry ITTY [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 4:05 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: linux box as router : performance ? > > Hi > > just interested in performance data that anyone could have collected when > trying to run a linux box with one or several NICs as a router (simple > router with static routes, complex with OSPF or BGP, dynamic, policy, > filters...), some kind of table(s) showing overall performance (packets/s, > bytes/s...) and configuration (cpu, memory, nics...) > > tia > - * - * - * - * - * - * - > Si nous avons chacun un objet et que nous les echangeons, > nous avons encore chacun un objet. > Si nous avons chacun une idee et que nous les echangeons, > nous avons alors chacun deux idees. > > Thierry ITTY > eMail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] FRANCE > > > > _______________________________________________ > Redhat-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
