Subject: Re: Flapping VPN under load on Soekris
Can anyone give me example of embedded system (Soekris-like) which is
known to handle PF traffic + VPN traffic at MBit/s throughput, and
packets per second level, generated by home users browsing web,
skyping, playing games on-line (low latency), at the same time.
*Fanless* and which can run OpenBSD of course.
I hope I'm not too demanding, is there anything like that?

you're probably overloading the CPU. try -current, sis(4) has
MCLGETI now which should mitigate things a bit. still, that's a
lot of load you're putting on a little 486 which will almost
certainly be restricting your throughput.
Thanks Stuart.

How many megs of throughput are you trying to push? and what encryption are
you using?
I have a p2 at 400mhz with 128ram that can push 5+ megs of aes256 traffic
and I don't notice any problems, and I have no offload card
I know this isnt embedded but its overall system specs are similar to a
soakris
If you are purely looking for another system, you might check out alix
