Is there anyone running any combination of the firewalls/dummynet on 5mb+ of traffic that can provide their basic system specs? I'm mostly hoping to know roughly how many mbits you're running on with what kind of processor and RAM, about how many rules or pipes you have, and how loaded the system generally is. Please send your replies directly to me and I'll summarize for the list. If you don't want me to mention your name/company in the summary, please note that in your reply. Thanks to any that can help out, -Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
