Re: hardware preference
Hi, I have been using FreeBSD 10 and Bird since the beginning and recently upgraded my FreeBSD to 13.2 and Bird 2.0.13.1. I'm using a Dell R630 with dual Intel E5-2680v4, Memory 32GB, and Solarflare SFN7122 Onload (a pretty old card). FreeBSD 13 had a lot of improvements on its routing stack and the bridge drivers and never had serious problems with it. My router receives full routes from 2 internet upstream and a few local exchanges; the traffic is about 5-10 Gbps during the peak load. I'm sure you already know that FreeBSD also has Netmap, which works great with an Intel X520 card. ;) Best regards, David S. e. da...@zeromail.us w. pnyet.web.id On Fri, Aug 25, 2023 at 3:30 PM Benoit Chesneau wrote: > This would be interresting to compare to FreeBSD performance .I wonder if > DDPK on on FreeBSD worth it.

Re: hardware preference
This would be interresting to compare to FreeBSD performance .I wonder if DDPK on on FreeBSD worth it. Are people still using freebsd on networking platforms? It seems that even Bird support is lagging behind linux support sometimes.

Re: hardware preference
Hoi I write a lot about (kernel and user space) routing performance on https://ipng.ch/s/articles/ including hardware and dataplane acceleration (with VPP and DPDK) on small (Fitlet2 or PCEngines), medium (Supermicro Xeon 1518D or Netgate 6100), and very large (Ryzen/Milan/Xeon Platinum) systems, from 100kpps and 1Gbit, all the way to 180Gbit/150Mpps. As a control plane, the choice of software be it Bird or FRR or OpenBGPd et al, is less relevant than your choice of kernel or dataplane acceleration. Please take a look and let me know what you think.

Hello community, I don't know if there is any obstacle for me to ask this kind of question. Everything is fine in terms of software, but can I get a hardware suggestion that millions of packages will pass through live with the servant? Do you have experience with an intel cpu and chelsio t4 nic or intel x5xx series? Which enterprise level devices can I use as hardware? Ömür Yavuz
