+ | - BSDRP doesn' | ||
+ | - BSDRP is not intended for home use but for company use (small ISP as example). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== What's about the routing performance ? ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | It depends of your hardware: | ||
+ | {{documentation: | ||
+ | * 4 cores Atom with with multi-queue aware NIC is the minimum for a line-rate gigabit router (1.48Mpps of smallest packet size). | ||
+ | * 8 core Xeon is the minimum for a 10Gigabit Full-Duplex (10Gbps receiving + 10Gbps transmitting = 20Gbps) with IMIX packet size distribution | ||
+ | * 12 core Xeon is needed for a 10Gb line-rate router (14.8Mpps) | ||

+ | ===== What's about IPSec performance ? ===== | ||

+ | ===== What's about OpenVPN performance ? ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | It depends of your hardware and crypto algorithms used, but a userland software it will be almost half lower than IPSec: | ||

+ | ===== Can I install BSDRP on a MIPS or ARM device (RouterStation, | ||
+ | |||
+ | BSDRP targets x86 architectures only. | ||

+ | The technical issues regarding the support of ARM/MIPS architectures with BSDRP are: | ||
+ | - Be able to modify the bootloader (for changing the boot-partition) from the FreeBSD user space: Permit to switch the active partition after an upgrade | ||
+ | - Having a bootloader that support a minimum boot-partition selection screen: Permit to revert-back to the previous version if the new installed version has major problem. | ||
+ | ===== Can you add squid/ | ||
