**Question** Have any of you used the 10gb interface

[kabrutus]

Hi all,

I am just curious on if any of you have used the 10Gb sfp+ on a PFS box?  Have you used it on a 10gb circuit?  Were you able to take full advantage of the circuit?  What type of hardware did you use for the PFS Box?

I am just curious on if any of you have used the 10Gb sfp+ on a PFS box?

For sure it might be going well but it is mostly more a problem what the most peoples will
thinking what they must be getting out of that connections! In usual you will be getting out
under real life conditions 2 GBit/s - 4 GBit/s real throughput from a 10 GBit/s uplink.

Have you used it on a 10gb circuit?

10 GbE uplink to the DMZ switch and to the LAN switch.

Were you able to take full advantage of the circuit?

From the pfSense to the DMZ switch (Layer2+) and from the pfSense to the
LAN switch (Layer3) it will be all will be running more smooth and liquid.

What type of hardware did you use for the PFS Box?

Intel Xeon E3 >3.0GHz
Single Intel Xeon E5 >3.0GHz
Dual Intel Xeon E5 >3.0GHz

Intel single or dual Port SFP+ adapters
HotLava (Intel based) multiport NICs

Supermicro Boards & one Gigabyte board.
