Happy to let you log into the machine and fiddle around if you >> want :) I've been watching this thread closely, since I'm in a very similair situation. A few questions/remarks:
Does ULE provide better performance than 4BSD for forwarding? Did you try freebsd4 as well? This thread had a report about that quite opposite to my own experiences, -4 seemed to be a lot faster at forwarding than anything else I 've tried so far. Obviously the thing I'm interested in is IMIX - and 64byte packets. Does anyone have any benchmarks for DragonFly? I asked around on IRC, but that nor google turned up any useful results. <snip> > I don't think you will be able to route 64byte packets at 1gbit > wirespeed (2Mpps) with a current x86 platform. Are there actual hardware related reasons this should not be possible, or is this purely lack of dedicated work towards this goal? <snip> >Theres a "sun" used at quagga dev as bgp-route-server. >http://quagga.net/route-server.php >(but they don't answered my question regarding fw-performance). the Quagga guys are running a sun T1000 (niagara 1) route server - I happen to have the machine in my racks, please let me know if you want to run some tests on it, I'm sure they won't mind ;-) It should also make a great testbed for SMP performance testing imho (and they're pretty cheap these days) Also, feel free to use me as a relay for your questions, they're not always very reachable. <snap> > Perhaps you have some better luck at some different hardware systems > (ppc, mips, ..?) or use freebsd only for routing-table-updates and > special network-cards (netfpga) for real routing. The netfpga site seems more or less dead - is this project still alive? It does look like a very interesting idea, even though it's currently quite linux-centric (and according to docs doesn't have VLAN nor ip6 support, the former being quite a dealbreaker) Paul: I'm looking forward to the C2D 32bit benchmarks (maybe throw in a freebsd4 and/or dragonfly bench if you can..) - appreciate the lots of information you are providing us :) Met vriendelijke groet / With kind regards, Bart Van Kerckhove http://friet.net/pgp.txt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQA/AwUBSG/tMgoIFchBM0BKEQKUSQCcCJqsw2wtUX7HQi050HEDYX3WPuMAnjmi eca31f7WQ/oXq9tJ8TEDN3CA =YGYq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
