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?
Let me get this straight. No routing protocols? Perhaps Zebra is not what you need. :) sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 might be more your speed.
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?
As much as I hate to say this, stock FreeBSD makes a terrible high performance router. The route-cache is horribly out of date with modern techniques, and there just aren't that many wackjobs out there trying to shove a hungred megs through a unix box to fully debug it (with the exception of a certain notoriously cheap people who will probably respond to this email talking about their success with FORE ATM OC3 cards :P). Then again, as long as it's your network and not mind, who am I to stop you. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)
