I'm currently configuring 2 intel P3 boxes (RH9 linux) with ten 100Mb intel nics, 5 \
each, running Redhat 9. I'm hoping with iperf I can get benchmark speeds of close to \
500 Mbps (wirespeed). I will post results within the next day or so.
After that I want to test my 2 amd64 ht boxes 3000+ Athlons, 512 or 1GB ram.
I have a collection of PCIe Gb nics (Broadcom & SysKonnect). I would also put on 64 \
bit linux. I'm looking at CentOS, I've gotten 64bit Gentoo working on it. There is a \
Redhat 64bit ES but is this necessary? Fedora I'm not a fan of.
Gobble - when you say the system will struggle, what bottlenecks are present in the \
amd64 ht setup? Will running a 64bit linux VS 32bit linux help the situation?
I'm pretty disappointed that per-packet routing/ load balancing is not available for \
linux "yet". What is so hard about implementing CEF in linux?
Regards,
Mike
