Depending on the number and speed of the interfaces, and the average packet size. It is easy to get 10Kpps per second on a single full-duplex 10BT interface. It would be best to test with minimum sized packets, to figure out how many pps FreeBSD can really handle. > -- > Jim Dixon VBCnet GB Ltd http://www.vbc.net > tel +44 117 929 1316 fax +44 117 927 2015 > > > Tom
