I have 2 questions in regards to Linux firewall hardware. I have Xeon 700MHz Netfinity running as campus firewall managing about 10K - 300K sessions on a T3. It runs the 2.6.8 kernel and IPtables in bridge mode.
When I use 2 cpu's the systems seems to get interrupt collisions. Are interrupt collisions common with dual CPU systems on Linux firewalls ? Also, are there any good network cards that have 2 - 3 ethernet ports on them and only require 1 IRQ ? I think multiple port PCI cards would offer greater preformance than 2 or 3 separate PCI cards. Correct me if I am wrong. -- ------------------------------------------ Ted Knab Stevensville, Maryland 21666 USA ------------------------------------------ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
