Link and does it have any WIFI options??

You won't see 1Gbps thoughput from an old style Atom. You might see close to 850Mbps with some tuning, probably not with Realtek NICs though. That's without any packages or encryption.

Steve, can you please point me into the right direction about this? Just out of curiosity.
-
That was a guess based on one users 640Mbps from a lesser Atom after some tuning. A D510 has been shown to be good for 500Mbps.
Let me see if I can find the posts….Here. 640Mbps from a D2500 with Intel NICs.
Here. 485Mbps from a D510 with Intel NICs.
So in fact the D2550 is almost identical, I was mistaking it for the D2700. The box above is unlikely to get more than 650Mbps.

Thanks.

That spec will have no problems doing what you've listed. With AES-NI (when that's fully implemented in pfSense) you'll probably see close to or above the line speed even with encrypted traffic.
A Celeron G530 will firewall/NAT at >1Gbps and the i3-4150 is more than double the performance in single or multithread benchmarks.
If anything you may have overshot the target! ;)Steve
I've seen 2.2Gbps AES-GCM 128bit between two QC Xeon boxes over 10Gbps given recent snapshots. Is that "fully implemented" enough for you?
-
Good enough for me. ;)

And You think u ll see it with an .
Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 1037U @ 1.80GHz
2 CPUs: 1 package(s) x 2 core(s)…..?
-
Yes, though it depends on other hardware. Realtek NICs will slow things down. The C1037U scores more than 3X higher than the D2500 in a single thread benchmark, which is what counts until 2.2 is released.

In fact i do not have exactly the setup i posted higher :) … As Lan I have this
2x onboard Intel

I just posted this for on another thread which has the hardware details that you can take a look at…..

The hardware will easily support your 850/850 bandwidth along with resource intensive packages fully loaded. I have tested the same config in a test environment and it used up the entire 1 gigabit WAN network (my test network is 1 gigabit only) and the CPU was around 39-42% with the resource intensive packages. On base install the CPU never crossed 20%. I thought of doing a 2 gigabit test but it wasn't worth my time.
At current prices you wouldn't get very high cost to power savings ratio by going with the latest Rangley Atoms or 1150s, unless you plan to keep the hardware for 5+ years for the same use.
Get the 3rd generation hardware for 1/3rd of the 1150 price and save some $$

very interesting post thanks! i will think about it for the office ;D
but in my situation right now its home and have place only for small appliance (mine is case:19cmx19cmx5cm) and widely enough.
-
This is at my home ;D
The mobo is micro-atx, previously I used a mini-ITX. The hardware is more geared towards supporting higher WAN bandwidth and the same time keeping the hardware real estate small and low power consuming.

-
I'm confused, you have a C1037U with Intel gigabit NICs?
You should see 1Gbps throughput with firewal/NAT then. Though I've never actually tried that setup myself. ;)Steve

This is what I'm building soon for Gigabit WAN. (We currently only have 107/5, but ISP is building a gigabit fiber network as we speak, should be out be end of the year)
