2-3 peers with full Internet routing table, but the number of routes and traffic is only a matter of equipment parameters, while the key is the manufacturer, who does things like e.g.
https://www.amazon.pl/HUNSN-Firewall-Appliance-Redundancy-RJ54k/dp/B0CST1BNL9/ It's about a good and tested supplier who delivers equipment in a quality that guarantees failure-free operation, and not that it will stop working after 6 months :) Thanks śr., 13 lis 2024 o 13:16 Andrew <ni...@seti.kr.ua> napisał(a): > 1-2 gbps can easily be routed by scrap like LGA775 core2. 4 gbps is > successfully routed by old xeon X3420 (even conntrack is enabled) > > any fresh Atom/Pentium N (or ULV CPU) can easily route 1-2 gbps. > > On 11/13/24 13:38, mirsal wrote: > > Hello Mike :) > > > > On Wednesday, November 13th, 2024 at 10:55 AM, Mike Neo < > neomike...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I am looking for a 1U rack platform with 1x or 2x psu with low power > consumption for a bird-based bgp router (Ubuntu).
