RE: high-end firewall

# 
# Not quite at your level, but for what its worth, we ran a p3-500 box
# with 2x 3com 10/100 cards in it as a firewall/router with an 
# upstream of
# 3 T1's that had:
#   o ~50-60 dynamic routes
#   o several traffic shaping rules (in constant use)
#   o a few simple firewall rules
# 
# It was almost always pegged at the 4.5 MBit xfer level, but the load
# never got above 0.01.  Ever.

but does the load shows the kerneltime? or just the user-space time?

and would there be any problems with 5 3com 100mbps nic in one k6 475mhz
machine?

i also do have some problems with another router during high load/ddos
with zebra/bgp using 100% cpu
serving a 100mbps link to internet(average trafic < 6mbps)

is there any web-pages that cowers the need of hardware according to
line speed?

mvh
