A WRAP (266MHz Geode) is maxed out at 32 mbit/s (with optimum packetsize). However with enabled trafficshaper and lots of traffic (bittorrent for example) it's not able to keep up at my 16/1 mbit/s adsl2+ connection. Depending on your WAN speed or if you need LAN to OPT traffic these devices rea

This is not feasible. Dummynet (which is what is used on the CP) is not compatible with PF due to a rdr bug of some sort. The problem has been brought up on the FreeBSD lists but nobody is interested in fixing it. Scott On 10/4/06, Jan-Patrick Perisse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Jonathan De G

Its a 4801 with the fastest processor I could get (266). We'll see what I can do with it, I don't plan on using a default config with snort. I know I'm going to have to tweak it. With the right setup, I believe running snort on the embedded image _is_ feasable. If I do manage to pull it off, I'

I was under the impression that Snort takes a lot of CPU power and RAM (100MB+ even in "lowmem" mode?). I don't know if a Soekris/WRAP could handle it. - Jason -Original Message- From: Donald Pulsipher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 04, 2006 12:04 PM To: discussion@p
