Currently I have an old AMD K6 233MHz, 128 MB ram PC running linux as firewall, openVPN box in my parents house. I was thinking about replacing it with a soekris board with OpenBSD. To have a smaller box using less power and to try out OpenBSD in real use.
I was thinking about the 4501-30 or 4801-50. The question is how much is needed. Currently I see 10-15% cpu usage from openvpn when transferring 1mbit/sek. I expect openvpn don't have to handle more than 2mbit/sek traffik. I saw someone say something about interupts from the NIC setting some limit to how much traffic this boards can handle. Is there any truth that. What is the limit? I expect it will have to handle 20mbit speed within the foreseeable future. Can I expect the 4501-30 to be enough or should I spend a bit more for the 4801-50, also to have a bit more spare resources for later. -- Jesper 03:07:37 up 3 days, 43 min, 12 users, load average: 0.86, 0.76, 0.64 _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
