Hi all,
       I am planning to implement iptables log feature on a server
machine(Dual xeon processor,Intel e100 cards,80GB SCSI and 2GB RAM)
which is running in bridge mode (On RH 7.3).The average traffic on this
machine is vary from 40-60Mbps.Hence I require some suggestion for some
my questions like,

1) On this High traffic the kernel will be stable/crash ?
2) What would be the CPU Load and the server is able to do this job
without any pain ?
3) Up to how much traffic the iptables/kernel can able to handle without
any issue and what should I do additionally if I need the
  iptable-log should handle this much traffic?


Advance thanks for your suggestion and pointers.

bharthix.

Along with other advice offered, you may wish to take a look at argus and ntop which are packages that collect nice summary information from ethernet traffic. They may be appropos to your goal.
