Hi All,
I am using Openbsd/Openbgpd in a real infrastructure and we are quite
happy. The small box that we are using (soekris) is handling 20Mbps
without any real problem and the bgpd is not complaining about
exchanging route tables with the peers. We know that some issues are
present with some routers in IPv6 (i.e. Juniper) but we are running an
old version (Openbsd 4.2) and we are confident that with the new version
everything will be solved.
What I am wondering is about the performance of the whole system
(PC-hardware + OpenBSD) when handling not few tens of Mbs but Gigabits.
In few words I am wondering if anybody is using Openbsd/Openbgpd in real
networks to handle 10-20Gbits of data, on the edge, with bgpd.
Obviously, the hardware must have 10Gbits cards, which I see is
supported now in the hardware list, but the real issues I see now is the
high number of packets to multiple 10Gbits interfaces.
So the question is if a PC-based hardware + Openbsd can handle this task
and what is the limit. (e.g. no more than 2 full view, no more than XXX
zillions of packets per second, etc.)
Thank you in advance ;)
