this plattform can handle about 100.000pps and 400mbit 1500byte packets with freebsd http://lannerinc.com/Network_Application_Platforms/x86_Network_Appliance/1U_Network_Appliances/FW-7550 hardware: 4x pci 32bit, 33mhz intel gbit 1gb cf-card 1gb ram with this hardware even more pps should be possible: http://www.axiomtek.de/network_appliances/network_appliances/smb_network_security_platform/na820.html hardware: 7x pcie (1lane each) connected networkadd freebsd-net mailinglist people achieved nearly 1.000.000pps with servers (hp-servers)
I suggest to use freebsd os if quagga is the routing daemon as quagga runs more stable than on linux.
I have currently 300days uptime at my border routers (2x FW-7550), last week I had a peak with 230mbit's; no problem to handle.
Kind regards, ingo flaschberger
