Cisco and Intel Gigabit(PCI-e) get along ok when they transport more than
50kpps.

This is my exactly point and I have the same experince... a lot 
of packet losses!!





I misread.
I apologize  :)

Neither way...single, dual, quad port(s) Intel's gigabit NICs will 
do the job as I stated before.

Sun's gigabit NICs too(intel based).
Although I don't know much about Broadcom's NICs because some are 
recognized in FreeBSD, others aren't.
Don't ever think using Airlink, Encore, Zonet, cheapo 
gigabit(Realtek based chip)...too much packet loss(well that's my experience).

I know of that, today, We have two Uplinks with 
Global Crossing (100Mbits) and Interlig Telecom 
(100Mbits), for this rates, I need use gigabit 
cards of course, And thinking that the packets 
have 1500 of MTU, the PPS are low... But, We are 
instaling Cisco Router, Telephony and other 
things related to PSTN e E1 Voice Links and 
more... the packets are more higher using telephony over the data links.


The previsioning of 300kpps is for me slepping 
well, if you can understand me, today, I don´t 
need data rates mora than 150Mbits per seconds, 
what I need is a good hardware interface to make things goes alright...

Intel 1Gbps are the best for routing, data transfer, etc.Although intel pro
100Mbps are quite alright in a 300 kbps routing enviroment.

I've actually had VERY good results with NetGear GA311 gigabit cards. they 
have TCP/IP offloading too. run like tanks and are pretty inevpensive.


not sure about the pps rating on them though

Hello Pfsensers!

I need some help with brands of NIC to buy, I need Giga ether cards with 
more or less 300kpps (real throughput) only for routing.


What card is the best for this? Intel? 3com? What model?

Can anyone help me?

Hello Pfsensers!

I need some help with brands of NIC to buy, I need Giga ether cards 
with more or less 300kpps (real throughput) only for routing.


What card is the best for this? Intel? 3com? What model?

Can anyone help me?
