None of the above were maxed out on the P4. It was only a quick test, as this is the production spamd server. > I'm running pppoe(4) on a lot of Geode 500MHz powered boxes and have no > problem getting 30Mbit/s throughput of unencrypted traffic... I plugged it back into the gw, Geode 300MHz with 100MBit Realtek. I made the pf.conf as default as possible (to look like the example pf.conf provided in /etc), I removed all the modulate and synproxy state options that calomel suggested putting in pf.conf. The performance improved from 1MB/s to 1.8MB/s. I would love to get 3MB/s, but maybe 1.8MB/s is the limit of the realtek NIC. I have just ordered an Atom 1.8GHz with Gigabit Intel NICs, should be more than good enough as an upgrade? I may upgrade my link from 30Mbit to 100Mbit in future, I would expect the Atom to handle this. .d.d.
