Hi i was looking at the page https://wiki.freebsd.org/action/show/mips/Octeon?action=show&redirect=FreeBSD%2Fmips%2FOcteon where amongst other things mentioned Ubiquity EdgeRouter Lite as compatible and also that Gigabit speeds on Basic Packet passing should be OK. I started to look at classifieds and I see some devices available for grabs. However I came across this article where the user explains one of the drawbacks being not being able to push more than 250Mbit per second between two Gigabit Hosts. However that article was not made on the latest available build as far as I see... http://rtfm.net/FreeBSD/ERL/ Question: Anyone has experience with Edgerouter Lite and FreeBSD and can comment on the real time performance achieved? Perhaps one of the other mentioned HW would be more suitable to go for ( even if it seems difficult to even find any.. Lanner , Portwell and Radisys devices ) Perhaps going the x86 route and pick up some appliance from Aliexpress which should work as a FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD router/firewall and achieve Gigabit speed on ports while passing packets easily/easier? f.e : https://www.aliexpress.com/i/32860646292.html?spm=2114.12057483.0.0.1f2b5af1TD1IWP Regards Viktor viktormadarasz@sdf.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.org
