Hi,
I've a local LAN consisting of about 150 machines. I'm using a machine with Linux + IPTables as the gateway machine which inturn connects to two different ISPs. My question is can a Linux based machine match the performance of a hardware based routers provided by Cisco,... OR is my decision to go for a Linux based solution is a wrong one?.
Is there so much difference between these two solutions?
Can I achieve the same performance using a high end PC and Linux?
I'm asking this because one guy told me that my decision to go for a Linux based solution is a wrong one and it can never match the performance of hardware based Routers.
Thanks Sudheer
