Hi Bill,
ok, thanks.
So as I understand it, in my production environment I will not be able to

You should be able to hit much more than that. One other item of
interest is that PF itself is still under the Giant lock and can't
take advantage of SMP. Since a good amount of cycles are spent in PF,
it's important to keep in mind - we'll never come close to FreeBSDs
raw routing performances due to that alone.
market today? Which, by the way, equals around 450-600Mb in my case. And
that is for dual port NIC, of course.
Also, I was wondering, how do the lab tests differ from production
environment? How is it possible that in the lab you can get 5 times more
than in production? (you said it yourself - you could only reach 80kpps
there, while in the lab you got 400). Unless I miss something.
To be clear, on the older Xeons, we could only hit around 150kpps in
the lab (optimistic conditions - 64byte udp). The newer Xeons hit
400kpps, the newer Opterons 600kpps+. In production, we were running
the old Xeons at 80kpps (or so) at about 100% utilization (these boxes
handle "real" traffic, ie TCP, which eats more cpu). given the
disparity between test and prod at about a 50% hit, our new boxes
should easily hit 300kpps.
Oh, and one last thing, since you mentioned FreeBSD 8.0, would you recommend
trying the pfSense 2.0 in production and will it actually solve the
threading problem?
pfSense 2.0 is still on the FreeBSD 7.x series - it's not known if
it'll move to 8 yet.
I know, I'm being a real pain here, but you would not believe how I struggle
to get the pfSense in production and show everyone that it can be done
without spending a fortune on some proprietary solution. I already have it
in all the other projects(which is about 5), this one is a real tough one...
But I absolutely love it, that's for sure.
Can you clarify again which CPUs are in your test boxes? Info from
dmesg would be perfect.
