Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG How many 10baseT interfaces could i reasonably have? Lets say I were to use some of the 4 port cards. Could i put 6 of those in a box and access all 24 ports? (provided i had 6 pci slots..) Can the PCI bus handle that much data? How many could i reasonably do, and be able to use them full bore? Assuming simple static routes, and nothing more...what kind of processing power should i need? and ram? Now, if i wanted 100bTX FD....what about now? What about....creating a jail of some sort that would allow access only to the routing related commands? And maybe even scripts to dump the current config into the apropriate files? (ala cisco...) Anyone working on anything like this? A few rambled questions....looking for comments:) -- David Raistrick Digital Wireless Communications davidr@dwcinet.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
