Hi All, I'm trying to find out what peoples experiences regarding the throughput of Zebra on a FreeBSD Box. My configuration is as follows: Intel Pentium III 1.40G 1 Gig RAM 2x <Intel Pro 10/100B/100+ Ethernet> (one internal, one external) on board.
Take a closer look to DEVICE_POLLING kernel option, it can highly increase fxp network card performance and router's max pps parameter at all. As we tested, typical bottleneck of PC routers is network card irq ratio that interrupt controller can handle.
This box is running as a simple static router, i.e. one subnet on the inside, Internet feed on the other side. No BGP, no RIP, no OSPF. Pretty simple, eh? So the goal is to know the bandwidth limitation of this router. Any ideas? I've heard numbers of 35Meg, 40 Meg, etc, however, I have not recieved a good reason backing it up. Can anyone offer some input on this?
