Hi, Anyone have experience with filtering at close to 1Gbit using pf? What would end up being the limiting factor in such a system? CPU, bus bandwidth or maybe something else? I'm looking to take some filtering load off of our routers for a particularly DDoS-prone service. Thanks, ben.

Other people filter at close, or better than a gig with multiple NICs. With GigE NICs you are generally talking quality, and with quality NICs you get lots of freebie stuff - checksum generation, decent buffer sizes, efficient bus use etc. They know that their customers don't want cheap, they want
