Hello OpenBSD misc list, I am writing this email to ask clearly about the issues that I could not clear in my mind despite reading about OpenBSD and ip forwarding limits. First of all, thank you for reading.
What is the maximum ipv4 forwarding value in pps that I can reach with OpenBSD on a super server? (e.g. 2 socket Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8360Y Processor (54M Cache, 2.40 GHz), 256GB RAM and Intel/Mellanox ethernet cards) Is OpenBSD's ipv4 forwarding performance hardware dependent? Or are we stuck at the limits of the OpenBSD operating system at this point? Actually i would like to reach 9 Mpps ipv4 forwarding rate under OpenBSD. Is this theory possible with the right hardware configuration? I'm trying to understand this. Thank you in advance for all the information you will give me. Have a nice weekend... Notes: PF would be disabled. -- Best Regards Barbaros Bilek
