Will an Atom 2758 and 16GB RAM be sufficient to drive a 10G network and packages?
-
Hi
I'm wondering if this board (Supermirco A1SRi-2758F running an Atom 2758 CPU) with 16GB EEC memory is sufficient to run pfSense smoothly and without hiccups?
I'm planning to install a pci intel x520 (10G network adapter in the motherboard)
My requirement/setup:
- 1G/s WAN connection
- 10G/s LAN network
- 10G/s TrueNAS server
- 10G/s Dell r630 running a hypervisor
- 15 VLANs
- HaProxy package
- Surricuta package
- pfBlockerNG
- Running a Zabbix agent
Any comments and feedback is welcome

It won't pass 10Gbps but it will run fine.
-
@stephenw10 thanks for your reply. Why will it not pass 10G? Because of the CPU?
-
Yes. I would expect somewhere in the 3-4Gbps range depending on traffic type, packet size, latency etc. Adding packages will reduce that.

@stephenw10 okay. Thanks. If I go with a D-1521, would that enable 10G-ish traffic?
-
It wouldnt pass 600mbit/s with an Atom CPU in that config.
-
It would certainly be a lot closer. I've never used one of those so I can't be sure what you would see.

@stephenw10 Thanks for your answers.
