Hello my FreeBSD friends.
I have two issues.
The first is how to balance outbound traffic over 2 nics that are on
the same subnet. Example configuration:
fxp0: 12.2.2.5 netmask 255.255.255.0
fxp1: 12.2.2.6 netmask 255.255.255.255
router at: 12.2.2.1
Currently I have the obvious static route to 12.2.2.1, which locks onto
fxp0 so all outbound traffic flows out over that link. Inbound traffic
balances per ip as I would expect. I hope to find a scalable solution
as I hope to build a server that will utilize 3 nics.
This configuration is neccessary because by my estimation I have run
into a limit on the intel pro 100 netcards of 6,000 packets/second.
This limit equates to about 30 to 32 megabit/second of web traffic in
our situation. I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this limit?
This limit was hit on 2 very different machines, one with significantly
less power. Any feedback on either of these issues would be
appreciated.
Thanks.
