Wow, that's pretty fast. =) I think...? ;) > Search for the thread "Performance degradation after upgrade". The devs have made networking for certain cards blazingly fast, its a ongoing process. I thought most of these issues were related to 4.8 and 4.9-current. I'll do a search and do some reading. I've always been looking for the best card(s) and version to use, but there's only so much time and money. > So your comment might be way off. You need to test with -current if possible and then report back if gigabit voice/video perf is still bad even with your setup. I hope so. The OP should probably try it themselves and report back. For our environment, we've already begun the transition to hardware-based routing (OpenFlow-based) since we need mega-Mpps ultimately, but it's nice to see continued progress since we may still have needs at the edge for high-performance routing and services running on OpenBSD.
