This is a pair of CARP-nodes (2x Dell R620 ). Nodes are connected with 
cross-over, trunk to trunk (trunk of 2x I350 per node).
No vlans.

tcpbench from the base; PF used a lot, but with pass quick on trunk0 keep 
state”:

Conn:   1 Mbps:  926.569 Peak Mbps:  939.483 Avg Mbps:  926.569

 Do you have vlans or trunk on I350? Could you share some numbers like
 bps or pps?
 
 Tnx for info.

BCM5719/20 or I350

2014-01-05 Thread Hrvoje Popovski
Hello,

I need to upgrade my OpenBSD firewalls and have chance to buy HP DL360p
G8 or Supermicro 5017R-WRF. Which card is better or more stable for
firewalling BCM5719/20 or Intel I350? I see that I350 doesn't support
VLAN_HWTAGGING nor TX CSUM's and it seems that is quite different from
older em cards. On other hand BCM5719/20 cards are quite new but there
was lot of development in a last couple of months. I prefer em over bge
and I am willing to donate I350 for development, but if there are more
interest in development bge card I will go with BCM5719/20.

Present firewall numbers are between 300-400Mbps and 40-60kpps.

Thank you.
