We are in the process of trying to measure its performance. Lack of any good test equipment is making it kind of hard to get good numbers. A interesting preliminary number was 80Mbs sustained of 64 byte packets. No filtering rules involved. On more realistic traffic it looks like it can keep a 100Mb wire saturated with filter rules. Hardware was a Pentium II 300, Intel 100B PCI card. > * do you support only two network cards, or more of them ? Same as above.
