I'm using a net4801 running OpenBSD 4.0 for a PPPoE link rather than my ADSL2+ modem. I am now using the modem in bridge mode as the port forwarding code in the firmware is rather lacking in features and I'm quite familiar with pf under OpenBSD as I've used it elsewhere ...
When using the modem as the PPPoE originator my line appeared to support around 150KB/s sustained, however now that I am using the 4801 for PPPoE this has dropped to at best 30KB/s, but sustained of around 22KB/s I can't see that this could be limited by the hardware as ppp consumes only around 3% of CPU time. The pppoe process appears to be consuming less than 1% ... the host also does mail, squid and antivirus duties ... Oddly, when I run ppp with the interactive shell I find that there is a mention of the connection speed as being 115200B/s, even though in my configuration the speed has been set to 'async' ... as far as I know this is the appropriate setting for using ppp with the pppoe process ... What sort of throughput do others see in this configuration? -- Malcolm Herbert This brain intentionally [EMAIL PROTECTED] left blank _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
