-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I use either IP Cop or a homebrew Debian install for firewall/routing duties. I doubt that the router is the issue, but bandwidth utilization likely is. I am a fan of squid (well proxies in general), as they can cut bandwidth utilization as well as filter certain MIME types, so that streaming media does not bring your internet connection to its knees.
For most of my clients, streaming music and sites like google video, youtube, tsn, cnn, cbc, bbc, basically anything with audio or video (there are a ton). Do you have any method of monitoring your current solution (SNMP for example)? Why the RAM requirement? You should not need that kind of RAM for an appliance. shane wrote: > Hi All, > > I wonder what the group would suggest for a router that meets the following > specs: > > --up to 20 ethernet clients > --port forwarding > --NAT > --Firewall > --Easy configuration/use, http control panel > -- VPN, QOS, Traffic Shaping, etc not required > --128 MB ram + > > My current router seems to get swamped at certain times of day. > > Thoughts? > > Shane > > > _______________________________________________ > clug-talk mailing list > [email protected] > http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca > Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) > **Please remove these lines when replying -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEMpiewRXgH3rKGfMRAukkAJsG7Eak7EdwcLGAYD2WCg0lXtqpyQCfR6WJ KQI1Jt1CxOGY7eTufh70ZFA= =ugrd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
