I thought I'd post these stats for our router, a P90 with two DEC PCI ethernet cards (10mbit), and running ipfw for filtering: $ netstat -I de1 Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll de1 1500 00.00.f8.01.29.48 563695622 59 575254062 1500 1378263754 de1 1500 128.230.105/2 rt 563695622 59 575254062 1500 1378263754 $ uptime 11:18AM up 106 days, 20:35, 2 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 $ uname -a FreeBSD rt.maxwell.syr.edu 2.2-961014-SNAP FreeBSD 2.2-961014-SNAP #0: Thu Jan 2 13:08:44 1997 cmsedore@rt.maxwell.syr.edu:/usr/src/sys/compile/RT i386 Now, I realize that the packet numbers do not appear to be that impressive. This is because we rolled the counters so you need to add 2^32 to each count :). Over this roughly 107 day period, we averaged about 1100 packets/second. -Chris
