Hi all,

does there aexist any numbers/whatever on the pure routing capabilities of FreeBSD routed on a Pentium class machine? THings like packets forwarded, throughput, etc..??

If not, anyone have any clues on how to go about testing these things? I figure I'd need some type of testing equipment, any recommendations?

I've been sorting through the stuff at http://ndtl.harvard.edu/ndtl/ but haven't found anything reallly helpful to me yet.

thanks
