Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control

Thank you all for your help!

The reason why I asked for your help was because I had the following
problem:

Router:
1.4 GHZ AMD
256 RAM
Realtek 8139 NIC
Slackware
2.6 kernel

No iptables rules just iproute2 routing.
I have 2 sub-networks and the router is configured as a "router on a stick".
I tested a simple routing from one sub-network to another (FTP transfer)
(the traffic enters and leaves the router using the same NIC) and the
maximum transfer rate is 50 Mbit (instead of 100 Mbit as expected).

I wonder how am I able to route a Gigabit network ... Someone told me that
he solved the problem using FreeBSD as it has a better performance on this
field...

I am bound to Linux as it has a superb implementation of QoS. You have
nothing like this in BSD.

I want to ask you: what is the maximum transfer rate that you can obtain on
your configurations (with and without heavy firewalling / marking / tc).

Thanks again for your input!

Mihai
