Hello I have 40Mbit/s internet uplink Average transfer 25Mbit/s - 3957 users On machine: - CPU 3.2GHz P4 +HT enabled - 2GB RAM - Intel GB cards Machine is doing nat/dnat for each user so there is 3957 DNAT/SNAT ip pairs (private to public and vice versa) Machine load is 0.1 avg And no any problems :) On Thu, 14 Jul 2005 17:24:00 +0200 Peter Surda <surda@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >If you don't want to adapt, once upon a time I wrote a management tool for an >ISP with requirements similar to yours.

Update: I obtained some data from the mentioned ISP: - Backbone: 16Mbit - average transfer 700kB/s (5600kbit/s) - about 20 users - CPU Celeron 333 - no performance problems noticeable The only unanswered question remains the user count (20 vs 400 is not really comparable).
