Hi, I've been running snort on a customized SMP type FreeBSD kernelon a SX based network interface. All I can say is that the performance is superb.
Doesnt consume much memory nor processor. At 11:26 PM 4/19/2004, Richard Bejtlich wrote:

Googling... yep. http://www.freebsd.org/smp/. Well, that makes me happy. -- FreeBSD has offered SMP in its RELEASEs since at least 3.0 in October 1998. [0] Granted, it had problems. The August 2000 Daemon News issue explains why the SMP code needed to be revamped. [1] 5.0, released in January 2003, was the first to incorporate SMP code donated by BSD/OS. [2] This new SMP implementation was called SMPng. I personally run Snort on FreeBSD 5.2.1 but haven't had to try SMP hardware yet. I do operate a dual processor server for other functions running FreeBSD 4.9 STABLE.
