<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br>I have been using FreeBSD 10 and Bird since the beginning and recently upgraded my FreeBSD to 13.2 and Bird 2.0.13.1. I'm using a Dell R630 with dual Intel E5-2680v4, Memory 32GB, and Solarflare SFN7122 Onload (a pretty old card).<br><br>FreeBSD 13 had a lot of improvements on its routing stack and the bridge drivers and never had serious problems with it. My router receives full routes from 2 internet upstream and a few local exchanges; the traffic is about 5-10 Gbps during the peak load.<br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div>I'm sure you already know that FreeBSD also has Netmap, which works great with an Intel X520 card. ;)</div><div dir="ltr"><br>

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?<br>
