I'll arrange some different tests later, but for now, VMXNET3 WAN, VMXNET3 LAN, the hosts have only 1 Gbps ethernet, I get ~850 Mbps in both directions through 'speedtest.net' (from a LAN windows server box) to some servers I know well. That's about only 15% less than wire-speed, even though there is the expected overhead of the virtualization. Not bad. Is it stable for long-term? Only time will tell me, but it looks steady for now. For fault-tolerance, I tend to think that CARP and dual virtualized pfSense (with affinity on different hosts), would be lighter than using vmware Fault Tolerance. That will be next week tests. -- Meilleures salutations, Met vriendelijke groeten, Best Regards, Olivier Mascia, integral.be/om _______________________________________________ pfSense mailing list https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list Support the project with Gold! https://pfsense.org/gold
