no back to back, regular production infrastructure,
Nortel Passport 8010 router as a backbone.
one host, as mentioned, is a PIII, the other is an
Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.06GHz (3056.82-MHz 686-class CPU)
running FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE #9: Wed Oct 11 09:05:49 IST 2006
which gives nicer numbers, if for example the client is of the same hardware,
and at the moment running 6.1-STABLE:
0.0-10.0 sec 1.08 GBytes 928 Mbits/sec
short version:
the point im trying to make, is that the same setup, where I only change
the release, is going downhill - with this particular MB.
the long version:
Before I send this box to pasture, i decided to use it as a dns/dhcp/tfpt
server, and i also upgraded it to the latest/greatest version of freebsd,
before it becomes eol.
as soon as it became production, i noticed that booting a class of some
60 ws was somewhat slower.
