Hardware: CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz (2998.57-MHz 686-class CPU) real memory = 2146631680 (2096320K bytes) 12 fxp interfaces, 8 vlans on some of those fxp interfaces working as core.LF.net. Throughput: 100mbit peak was possible. All the hardware is 100mbit. We currently prepare a gigE testbed to spread the load. > Doing a straight FTP transfer from one server to another > through a CIsco 3640 seems to cap at about 40 Mbits/second so I was > wondering how that compares to a x86 system running FreeBSD. The tests I made using some shuttle.com barebone hardware etc seems to max out around 500 mbit/sec. It wasn't a full-blown BGP setup, far from it. More seems easily be possible, but we still need to test. -- MfG/Best regards, Kurt Jaeger 15 years to go !
