Good afternoon PFsense fans,
Greetings from the sunny central cost of California. I am
currently pricing out several load balancer solutions. The
requirements are pretty basic;
-Redundancy (CARP)
-Sticky
-intelligent load balancing of TCP services (fail a load balanced
node/server out of the pool when the service fails)
-ability to manually pull nodes out of the pool for maintenance
without affecting customers
So I know that PF supports all of these requirements and is a
good inexpensive candidate for the project. What I am now trying to
get a handle on is what can I expect for connections/sec? The proposed
hw platform for the PF's is;
CPU: Intel Pentium E2140 Dual-Core 1.60GHz, 1MB L2 Cache, 800MHz LGA775
RAM: 1GB (2 x 512MB) Unbuffered ECC DDR2-667
NIC: Dual 10/100/1000 Mbps NICs (Intel 82573L + 82573V) - Integrated
PCIe x8: Intel PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter - 2 x GbE (RJ45) - PCIe x4
Fixed Drive - 1: 160GB Western Digital RE (3.0Gb/s, 7.2Krpm, 16MB Cache) SATA
Anyone on the list have some benchmarks they could pass along? TIA.
