Hi,
I'm planing to set up a new firewall and have a few questions about what
quad ethernet cards people recommend?
The server will probably be a Dell PE860 (they seem to be well supported
by OpenBSD), but what quad cards should i buy? what cards have good
performance?
4 NE2000's will do fine in any machine. Kidding ;)
What link speeds do you want to handle with the setup, and more
importantly, what is the expected traffic mix? Are you going to expect
a high pps rate, do you require low latency? Also, what is your budget?
Greets,
Jeroen
A mix of all that ;)
It's in the startup phase so I can't provide that much info yet, but
there will be a lot of machines and we will be routing much traffic
internally and to Internet. The budget is quite important, so if there
is a cheaper card than the Intel that will perform well i would be glad :)
