Hi! > > How many of you are using FreeBSD PCs as reasonably high end routers (say > > 512kbit/sec+)? core.LF.net runs on FreeBSD 2.2.5, with 6 ethernet interfaces, one of them into a 100 mbit ethernet of our backbone. Backbone: 2 * 34mbit/sec. Running gated 3.5.10 or so, the last "free" version. No problems as of now, uptime 300+ days. core.oberon.net runs FreeBSD 2.1.6, same gated, towards a 6 mbit/sec backbone, uptime 550+ days. > > What made you choose this solution and what problems did you face? > > 100 Mb interfaces are cheap ;-) Right 8-) > > What sort of hardware are you using? > > We're using a P120 with 40Mb Ram at the moment. Its got plenty enough grunt > for the task however it only carries 2700 routes. P166, 64 MB RAM (core.oberon) or P-II-233, 64 MB RAM (core.LF). -- MfG/Best regards, Kurt Jaeger 21 years to go !
