Question about ip accounting
Hello I'm in a six months placement at Gitoyen http://www.gitoyen.net/ (a small opensource-based LIR) Gitoyen is a Local Internet Registry. The current routing solution is based on Linux with Quagga running OSPF and BGP. All routers runs Linux from USB flash drives but we think that FreeBSD could be much better with OpenOSPFD and OpenBGPD. My mission at Gitoyen is to be able to route about 2Gbps at 190 kilo packets per second using opensource softwares... Can you give me some advices on IP accounting? It must be lightweight to let openbgpd working fluently. If informations could be retrieved by snmp it would be great too. I found two ways of doing this: using pf or netgraph (particularly the ports ipaccounting_ng) so the questions are: - Is there a best way to do this? - Wich solution is the lightest for a router? - Is there a other ways to do IP accounting? Thanks for your help, Regards, Vincent Mialon signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Packet forwarding is done in the OS. (But if you have lots of routing updates the routing software could matter) A way to higher performance under linux could be: http://yuba.stanford.edu/NetFPGA/ Anyone looing at supporting the netfpga card on FreeBSD? I would love to do that project myself, my time is scarse right now. /Chris -- http://www.arnold.se/ http://www.mbit.us/ ___ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I believe there was some interaction between other XORP members and the NetFPGA people, although I don't know if this resulted in any outcome. cheers BMS ___ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

BTW people ha ve been having trouble getting the expected throughput with those cards in some systems according to teh mailing lists so there are some traps for young players in there.. /Chris -- http://www.arnold.se/ http://www.mbit.us/ ___ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
