Gigabit WAN on an Intel D2500CCE?
-
I've had an Intel D2500CCE for a few years now and it's been a great little board on my 150/20 Internet package. I've been toying with going with my ISP's Gig package (1Gig down/50Mbps up), as I do some media content based things that would benefit from the speed increase.
Is my current Intel D2500CCE board capable of hitting gigabit WAN throughput (no VPN) for unsustained/short periods of time? Or, am I better off looking into a newer board, like something with the Atom 2558? The only limiting factor in a hardware refresh, is that it needs to be mini-itx with 2+ NICs on it.
As far as installed packages, I'm running Snort, ntop, and OpenVPN for RDP'ing in from my phone to check on things.
Thanks in advance!

You would likely see 500-600Mbps max through that board depending on traffic type.
Does that board have Intel NICs? If so it would be toward the top end of that.

Are you using PPPoE together with that 1 GBit/s Internet account? If not, then you may fine with the SG-4860 unit
from the pfSense store! Another user named gonzopancho was talking about nearly routing 1 GBit/s at the WAN
interface and +/- 500 MBit/s together with IPsec VPN. So I would say ask at first your ISP for that!The SG-4860 is matching the Intel C2558, ass I am right informed.
