I wonder if somebody did real testing of FreeBSD box with, let's say, two Ethernets and one 2M serial card (or some other hw with equivalent bandwidth), which would act as a router, using e.g. Gated. How well it behaves under heavy traffic? How many packets get dropped/ignored/else? How much memory it requires? How much swap? What is *real* throughput of such a beast? etc... If somebody did it, I would be most interested in results :-) TIA Andy, +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Andrzej Bialecki _) _) _)_) _)_)_) _) _) --------------------------------------- _)_) _) _) _) _)_) _)_) Research and Academic Network in Poland _) _)_) _)_)_)_) _) _) _) Bartycka 18, 00-716 Warsaw, Poland _) _) _) _) _)_)_) _) _) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
