Hi, I have been using FreeBSD 10 and Bird since the beginning and recently upgraded my FreeBSD to 13.2 and Bird 2.0.13.1. I'm using a Dell R630 with dual Intel E5-2680v4, Memory 32GB, and Solarflare SFN7122 Onload (a pretty old card).
FreeBSD 13 had a lot of improvements on its routing stack and the bridge drivers and never had serious problems with it. My router receives full routes from 2 internet upstream and a few local exchanges; the traffic is about 5-10 Gbps during the peak load. I'm sure you already know that FreeBSD also has Netmap, which works great with an Intel X520 card. ;) Best regards, David S. ------------------------------------------------ e. da...@zeromail.us w. pnyet.web.id On Fri, Aug 25, 2023 at 3:30 PM Benoit Chesneau <beno...@enki-multimedia.eu> wrote: > This would be interresting to compare to FreeBSD performance .I wonder if > DDPK on on FreeBSD worth it.
