I have a D510-based dual Intel NIC board that consumes around 19W idle with a PicoPSU and will route around 350 Mbps using the default packet size in iperf, or 600+ Mbps with net.inet.ip.fastforwarding enabled. I have also done a system based on an Intel DH57JG board + i3 560, 2.5" hdd and PicoPSU that used 17-19W idle and would route wire speed (950 Mbps steady, using a vlan switch) on iperf with ~60% idle CPU in top. Lastly, I have an Intel DQ67EP board with i5 2500, SSD, and DC-DC PSU (Antec) that uses ~19W idle. I haven't run pfsense on this one or tested its routing capacity. I hope the extra data points will be useful to you. db _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
