David Greenman knows the pps switching speed vs size numbers, he did a bunch of testing, and yes, using 4 FreeBSD systems he can hit the limit of the switch using small packets. The thing this does tell us though, is that a Pentium with the right hardware and software can infact do some pretty fast packet switching (I seem to recall 10K+ pps per port using 4 ports, but David would have to give the exact numbers.) -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation, Inc.
