Saint Louis, MO | Re: core Most of the major router manufactures have GigE routers. Japan has had 100/100 for quite a while. They have routers too. | |
|
| | | | Re: core I am talking about getting actual gigabit speeds through them not the ports themselves.
Most if not all routers dont have the processing power to give out 1 gig speeds. | |

Saint Louis, MO | Re: core Lots of homes run GigE within the house. Personally I usually just suggest adding a GigE switch (cheaper than switching to a GigE router). Those systems easily handle multiple 90MB/s transfers without issue (a->b and c->d). Running at GigE speeds does not require much processing power at all. What does require lots of processing power is running hundreds of connections at once (p2p type apps). | |
|
| | | | | | Re: core More processing power is required for throughput and memory is required for state tables, and if you use NAT you need both for keeping states and rewriting packets.
I have pfsense running on server class hardware (Dell 2950 x 2) and we get 800MBps tops. | |

800MBps or 800Mbps? Internet is generally sold in Mbps. GigE which is 1000Mbps is (as stated above) only 125MB/s or 125MBps(theoretical) and is usually only 90MB/s(effectively). If you can do 800Mbps(100MB/s) you are doing quite well. | |
|
| | | | | | | | Re: core 800 megabits per second.
I was typing on my phone and it auto spell corrected.
Remember this is not a home internet connection, so we are not doing quite well, we have 2Gbps to the cage so we have firewall upgrades down the pipeline. | |

Saint Louis, MO | Re: core If you mean 800Mbps out of a 2Gbps line, then no something is very wrong. If you mean 800Mbps on a 1Gbps line then you are not going to get much better. Depending on who you talk to there is a 15-20% overhead for tcp. Just look at Ethernet 100, very few people get much above 9.5 MB/s (76Mbps) over it despite how long it has been around. | |
