Hello,

I'm planning to install a FreeBSD server in a traffic shaper role for an 
Internet setup. The total bandwidth I'm looking to manage is 10Mb/s and 
I'll have various proxy streams, streaming media, general HTTP streams to 
manage.

Can anyone shed some light on what CPU and memory specs I should look at 
for this kind of thing. Unfortunately I can't estimate how many pipes etc 
I'll need at this stage.

Any other pointers for the setup?

Thanks
Aaron
