That is good to know.
I have some wireless backhauls pushing well over 100mbps
So better to know now vs later
any suggestions on hardware for the sky in that case?
We've built some boxen for customers for pfSense with up to 8x 1GbE
ports, and several with dual 10GbE ports. Building the 10GbE driver for
2.0.1 was a bear, and it doesn't load correctly on some of the units*,
but these are fairly capable units, and we were pushing about 1Gb/s
through a unit at a customer site.
People are inclined to skimp on these designs ... its a mistake if you
have lots of traffic to move.
* a request for the next pfSense release would be driver building
environment installable package (much like the other packages) with the
minimum subset of tools we need to compile drivers for pfSense. We can
usually fix/port drivers for alternative versions of FreeBSD, but
sometimes, its very helpful to have the exact version of the kernel
headers/compilers used.
