The machin turned OpenBSD 4.9. OpenBSD on the current supported ARM systems are not at all fast on the network. You'll get somewhere in the region of 30-50Mb/s of 1500-byte packets out of OpenBSD/armish before running out of CPU. There's a work-in-progress BeagleBoard port, I have no idea what speed you might expect from that. SPARC - do you mean the older 32-bit systems or sparc64 / UltraSPARC? I haven't tested recently but 400MHz+ sparc64 systems should be ok with 100Mb+.
Re: ARM or SPARC ?
Hi, maybe arm sould be better choice, but it is realy dependant to the other hardware specs, & your needs. a fast arm with slow memory buffer, sould be a bad choice a mediam sparc with fast memory buffer, sould be a good one ship is not the primary need, but the board & all its parts is more important if you need performance. A fast processor on bad board will do permanently "nop"(No operation) instruction so it is a bad choice for performances. > > From: hvom .org > Sent: Mon May 30 11:32:20 CEST 2011 > To: > Subject: ARM or SPARC ? > > > Hi all > > I need best performance processor, I used firewall and > rountig/load-balancing.

Re: ARM or SPARC ?
Sparc64 is probably the best support non x86 architecture for openbsd at this time.

Re: ARM or SPARC ?
Kinda naive question: either could be more than enough; depends on your hard/soft/bandwith combination. Stick to i386/amd64; usually the best buck for performance ratio. Good luck!
