Jeff, I did some testing on my 6501. I first tried it to be a NAS, and got to compare the same eSATA PCIe card there and in an intel 525 atom board. What I was to blame the CPU, on a second thought, I saw it was much easier to be caused by all bus bottleneck on the board design. It was just not meant to be used that way. The throughput on the mini itx atom was more than 4x what the soekris got me. so, as you say this about the atom board, it doesn't come to me as a surprise. but as I said, would be much secure for me to do the test again, and send the screen. I don't know if I have pure FreeBSD for the test, so the test could be more thorough. > I'm not cooking the CPU, this is the Atom D525 dual core atom with > hyperthreads and yes I see 4 X > CPUs in PF.

I wouldn't blame it on intel driver. but the cpu was not really 100%. someone else must have done this test as well, and could give you more accurate numbers. what kind of traffic you intend to pass on it ? att, matheus > Or just FreeBSD itself.....? > > Jeff > > > On 21 Sep 2012, at 15:33, Bryan Irvine wrote: > >> Send me a couple and ill figure all that out for you! ;) >> >> >> >> Sent from my iPhone >> >> On Sep 21, 2012, at 2:58 AM, Jeff Rhys-Jones <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> Hi guys, >>> >>> Has anyone had a chance to run some benchmarks using the net6501 and >>> pfsense 2.x? >>> >>> What is the max interface to interface firewall&routing the net6501 will >>> handle? >>> >>> Cheers, >>> >>> Jeff >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Soekris-tech mailing list >>> [email protected] >>> http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech > > _______________________________________________ > Soekris-tech mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech > -- We will call you Cygnus, The God of balance you shall be A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
