As someone pointed out, you need something a little more recent to correct the 16bit reference count limit. But beyond that, the two boxes for us perform like a champs regularly pushing out peaks of 18Mb/s with two views and gated. hespler-border% uptime 10:07PM up 139 days, 11:28, 4 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 hespler-border% uname -a FreeBSD hespler-border.sentex.ca 3.3-RC FreeBSD 3.3-RC #0: Wed Sep 8 13:37:19 EDT 1999 mdtancsa@slag2a.sentex.ca:/usr/src/sys/compile/border i386 hespler-border% netstat -nr | wc 77858 469034 5455641 hespler-border% As the other poster pointed out as well, watch your memory. You can tweak your KVM space, but I like to add at least 192MB of RAM to give some room. My upstreams have been pretty good about not having their routers blast crap at me, but I have seen situations where they sent me 90K+ worth of routes that blew my old router away.
