From my past experiences, and given a P90 with 8mb of RAM capable of routing 4 different 2mbit lines with 4 different nicks without a glitch, I can say that your hardware can perform up to wire's maximum capacity. Maybe it depends on what else other than routing services you have to run on that machine, but I don't think that would be a problem.

Re: Multicast Routing Performance
Does any one have any experience of using a FreeBSD Box as a multicast router? I have a PIII 800Mhz with two 100Mbps NICS, what kind of throughput can I expect to get out of this setup? We have been doing that for years. But don't expect too much speed with a PIII 800, we usually have something like 10Mbps brust traffic.

Re: Multicast Routing Performance
Ahh! I am doing some testing of multicast video streaming. It streams a single 8Mbps stream fine but if I add another to it the throughput just falls away for both streams. Am I asking too much to stream approx 16Mbps? I kinda thought that 100Mbps NICs and a PIII would handle it. I don't suppose there are any settings I can tweak? cheers Gavin --- Olivier Nicole [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does any one have any experience of using a FreeBSD Box as a multicast router?
