This would be interresting to compare to FreeBSD performance .I wonder if DDPK on on FreeBSD worth it. Are people still using freebsd on networking platforms? It seems that even Bird support is lagging behind linux support sometimes.

Everything is fine in terms of software, but can I get a hardware suggestion that millions of packages will pass through live with the servant? Do you have experience with an intel cpu and chelsio t4 nic or intel x5xx series? Which enterprise level devices can I use as hardware?
