Hi,
reading Slashdot I'm sutmbled upon presentation of FreeBSD new
features:
http://people.freebsd.org/~andre/FreeBSD-5.3-Networking.pdf
It look pretty interesting (e.g. tcphostcache), especially they claim
that FreeBSD on 2.8 GHz Xeon can route 1Mpps.

Guess didnt take too long for those BSDers to post on slashdot.
It would be nice for someone to install freebsd and verify the claims
on the routing aspect.
Anyone in Ottawa with BSD expertise drop me a note - I have access to
measurement equipment (and really dont wanna touch BSD if i can avoid it).
cheers,
jamal
PS: We can certainly do better than that on Opterons. Robert
reports a 1.3 Mpps rate on a dual opteron 1.6Ghz. Our numbers on Xeons
are less than 1Mpps. But we can let an old OS like BSD beat us, can we
now ? ;->
