# # Not quite at your level, but for what its worth, we ran a p3-500 box # with 2x 3com 10/100 cards in it as a firewall/router with an # upstream of # 3 T1's that had: # o ~50-60 dynamic routes # o several traffic shaping rules (in constant use) # o a few simple firewall rules # # It was almost always pegged at the 4.5 MBit xfer level, but the load # never got above 0.01. Ever.
but does the load shows the kerneltime? or just the user-space time? and would there be any problems with 5 3com 100mbps nic in one k6 475mhz machine? i also do have some problems with another router during high load/ddos with zebra/bgp using 100% cpu serving a 100mbps link to internet(average trafic < 6mbps) is there any web-pages that cowers the need of hardware according to line speed? mvh anders gj�re
