Hardware

Haven't seen any reports on throughput on the Soekris 5501. Anyone done any measuring?

I just did a test between a machine on LAN with a machine outside the WAN through m0n0wall and was getting a varying 60 - 64mbit/s. Topped out at around 65mbit/sec looked like.

Couldn't get an accurate CPU reading because the transfer pretty much killed the web interface. I would guess that was 100% CPU.

This is also without any rate shaping or QoS (which probably explains the slow interface / external web while transferring).

Hope this helps!

I seemed to get a little better performance with my net5501 testing:
