Hello, Can anyone tell me about performance issues re. freebsd in filtering bridge configuration, compared to router configuration? The filtering will take place between two ethernet gigabit interfaces. Also, what kind of ethernet fiber SX gigabit interface is recommended for production use? I need to continue maintaing high uptime and stability is primary concern, also it need to perform well and of course the driver must work well. How many NMBCLUSTERS do I need for a bussy 1 gbit ethernet filtering bridge or router? Other kernel issues to keep in mind? I use ipf for ip filtering. I was also wondering if there exist any dual fiber gigabit ethernet cards (two fiber-pairs on one card) in order to save pci slot space. I will be grateful for any hints or comments. Please direct copy of response to cp@cvt.dk since I do not subscribe to any mailing lists. Thanks Christoffer Pio
