juniper routers do exactly this (freebsd for network routing protocols, 
asics for hardware forwarding). Not sure how they compare to Ci$co (I'm 
assuming cost is driving factor for evaluating freebsd as a routing 
platform).


freebsd can do bgp/ospf/etc with software such as: quagga or zebra, or 
the newer xorp.


some people have used freebsd as a routing platform for large networks, 
see occaid.org (their network was built with freebsd/quagga and ip-ip 
tunnels, although they did have some juniper m5s)


what you will probably find is that routing in software may not offer 
the performance required for a backbone network. This is of course 
dependent on your needs, and some people (occaid) have achieved 
line-rate (small packets) ip forwarding with intel pro 1000 cards and 
some patches to enable fastforwarding for ipv6 in freebsd.


hope this is of some help. I can't give any numbers with regard to 
stability -- quagga/zebra did have some issues as I recall.


for large amounts of traffic it may help to enable device driver polling 
to reduce interrupt overhead.

Re: Counter-Strike, Wine and FreeBSD

2005-08-15 Thread Aaron Gibson
quick question, I'm guessing you used wine in ports? I never seemed to
be able to get the fonts to work properly with Counter-Strike 1.5. Can
you post your wine config file?

The alternative was/is cedega, but I felt more inclined to boot windows
than pay even more money to get a game to work (my .02)

Props to ID and epic for supporting alternative platforms. UT* and
Quake/Doom series work very well as I understand it (I played UT2004 and
QuakeIII on FreeBSD with great success)

The filesystem reserves blocks for the superuser (consult manpage for newfs)

 -m free-space

The percentage of space reserved from normal users; the minimum free
space threshold.  The default value used is defined by MINFREE from
, currently 8%.  See tunefs(8) for more details on how to
set this option.
