Best hardware platform for routing/firewalling?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey list,

does anyone have an opinion on what's the better-performing/suited
hardware platform for routing and stateful firewalling with iptables;
AMD Opteron or Intel Xeon?  I'm need something that can sustain high
pps/bps numbers with as low latency as possible.

Anything in particular I should be paying attention to choosing what to
order?  I know that I'll need MSI-X capable NICs in order to have decent
SMP scaling - anything else?

Best regards,
