OS options to monitor traffic over a 1GiB and 10 GiB

["C. L. Martinez" <carlopmart () gmail com>]

Hi all,

 I need to monitor/sniff two networks (one is 1 GiB and another is 10
GiB) using snort. My first option is to use FreeBSD 8.3, but it maybe
best idea to use RHEL or RHEL-like CentOS using PF_RING. What do you
think?? Which OS can offer best results in terms of performance??

Thanks.
