Hi,
I have two fw platforms, mono 1.21 running on a Nokia120 and pfsense1.0beta2
running on an AMD athlon 900.
I can get 2.2MBs on the 120 platform, at >96% cpu usage. On the athlon,
32bit, 33Mhz pci, I can get 7MBs using Intel PRO 1000MT 64 bit PCI cards.
My question is what speed/type cpu do I need to use to improve on this with
a PCI-X bus? (64bit, 33Mhz or maybe 66Mhz)
I would like to get 15-20MBs, but without spending too much. I am looking at
a 2nd hand Supermicro FPGA370 dual Pentium mb, with PCI-X bus.
All my NICs are Intelpro MT1000, 64bit.
Thanks
Something else is wrong. Either of these platforms should be able to
forward at something close to 100Mbps, if not higher.
