I can't speak to the PPS, but the above statement depends on the model. The 515 series was a single-processor Pentium MMX or Celeron, whereas the 525 & 535 had two 370 sockets, one of which was filled with a Cisco-custom coprocessor, the other a PIII <= 1GHz. The 535 could hit 1.6Gbps; no PPS numbers posted, but comes out to ~140Kpps @ 1500 bytes. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
