I used it as a tool to benchmark my hardware. There are several examples on their website of using it for just that purpose. It also a tool to build simple routers. It has very little overhead and runs on freebsd, which made it interesting. It is a tool. >You were testing forwarding, by the look of it. This is not all there is to >routing. The testing results I posted were pure packets per second without forwarding. I also tested forwarding but did not post the results, and I mentioned that. >>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. > >That's an interesting result. We've not seen it. These crashes happened during a forwarding test using pfSense. I disabled packet filtering to try to lessen overhead, but it doesn’t seem that pfSense is designed to push a great flood of very tiny packets for any length of time, in one interface and out another. And I don’t fault it for that. For normal types of traffic, it’s a very capable firewall. It would be interesting to know your results.
