I was speaking of a C2758 board that was tested by someone else, and which 
wasn’t able to reach Ethernet's maximum throughput. Clearly not all C2758 
boards are the same. Buyer beware. 

 

If you have tests results that prove the product you mentioned doesn’t have 
this problem, feel free to post them. I'd love to see.

Not at all. You seem defensive.

 

 

>- this list is about pfsense, not the BSDRP

 

Never said it was. BSDRP is a tool to test hardware. If the hardware cannot 
achieve maximum throughput, then pfSense cannot achieve maximum throughput.

 

 

> Pkt-gen does not test routing.  What tests did you run?

 

Here's a clue:  BSD *Router* Project. I doubt you’ve done this sort of testing, 
so I'm not going to spoil this learning opportunity for you...

 

However, I will mention one thing: if you try to route 1.488M packets per 
second through the 'generic' pfSense, it will crash after a minute or so. (and 
that's not a criticism of pfSense)

 

 

>I don't see where a C2758 is tested. 

 

I clearly stated what I was testing and how. You seem confused. The OP was 
asking what hardware might serve his purpose. I offered suggestions. 

 

You're welcome to prove anything I've said was wrong - but with actual test 
results, and without the misplaced rancor. 

 

Also, it's better to reply to the list, and not send emails directly to me.
