      Is it possible to achieve greater than 20Gbps with pfSense?

      This is what I would be running:

      • BGP to load balance between two 10Gbps links to two different ISPs
      • NAT will be very minimal
      • Suricata in IPS mode (Understand the number of rules will affect throughput)
      • There will be a max of 10k devices connecting through it

      Its been a very long time since I've run pfSense needing very high throughput. Any suggestions on hardware or am I completely mad?

      Was looking at Supermicro box with 64GB RAM and Intel Gold 6230N 20 core CPU. NICs are the Intel X772 and X557

      thanks all
