That's around the same figure I managed to generate with iperf here while testing 12 months ago. >(I did determine the maximum > xmit/receive rate of a Sun v120 running Solaris 8 though ;) ) > During the iperf tests, the cpu load was closer to 25%, but > iperf generates larger packets, so that's no huge surprise > and why Avalanche is a much closer to real life test. Quite.

I can pass on the symon graphic goodness for my handrolled 6.x/pf build on a dl-385 if you're interested, should have some meaningful stats soon. Shame the 802.3ad/lacp code from NetBSD hasn't been ported over yet, I could make use of it in this design. > We're a large > company and pfSense doesn't meet our internal audit > requirements just yet - that's on my todo list (multi-user, > change logs, etc). Give it time :-), its all good. greg
