Hi, i am looking for a good NIC from NIC to put on our quite busy router based on freebsd 6.3 (soon 7.x) I've found server NIC from intel and there is such a thing like scalable I/O on windows and linux. (from web page) "load balancing on multiple CPUs Increases performance on multi-processor systems by efficiently balancing network loads across CPU cores when used with Receive-Side Scaling from Microsoft or Scalable I/O on Linux*" Is such thing supported on freebsd ? And one more question. Does anybody has some data what is difference on desktop and server NIC from INTEL in pps or so. I wonder how faster could be those server NICs thanks
