I am not sure about the mechanism, but If I have a freebsd machine acting
as a firewall between a 10bT Ethernet and fractional to full T1. How does
the gatewaying/firewalling ability degrade as a function of the load of
unrelated processes on that machine. In other words I am running some huge
backup/ big simulation on my firewall (lets say a PPro 200) does it
measurably effect the Throughput of the firewall? Does anyone have some
numbers on this. Basically saying what the networking capabilities of
freebsd are on variously configured machines. Like would it be a bad Idea
to use a freebsd machine as a router between 4 100 baseT networks and a
T1?
