Hi! We are about to switch to Gigabit Ethernet in a while, and thus the Duron 700, which currently does traffic accounting with 2 fxp cards very well, will have to be replaced with a box that is able to handle that. We thought about some big machine with 64bit/66 MHz PCI slots, but are not sure about the hardware yet. I wondered if anyone is doing that? I'm also interested in stats, if you only do routing w/o firewalling/packet filtering, or similar. What hardware are you using? What's the throughout you reach over that box? We would be happy to reach 500Mbit/s full-duplex :) Any hints on hardware? Chipsets? CPUs? (Our accouting ruleset includes approx. 3300 IPFW2 rules :) Thanks for any tips Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
