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?
