I'm doing some tests on a EPIA PD6000 (so I think much lower than your hardware):
http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/mini_itx/epia_pd/
I can reach an average throughput of about 92-97 MB/s, with unencrypted traffic. I am testing it with iperf. I'm about to test same config, but using two box and an ipsec VPN between (I want to test the accelerated crypto hw).
Anybody altready tested it?

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
