Hello -
How fast has anyone pushed netfilter? Assuming I can put together a
beefy enough hardware platform, what are the possibilities of supporting
1 million concurrent connections with at least 2gb per second stateful
packet filtering throughput?
Let's say I can get my hands on 10gb NICs - how fast can netfilter push
them?
thanks

I've heard of a lot bigger setups with multiple (IIRC 10) million
concurrent connection.

I don't know, but I'd be interested in that too :)

Thanks - it evidently took almost a week for this to post on the list -
and I never did get an email back that said my subscription started.
Holy moley!
Anyway, we ended up declining the project. It turned out, of the
requirements was EAL5 certification and I wasn't able to find any Linux
distro that's gone to the trouble.
