      I've installed pfsense on a dell 1750( 22.4G Xeon 512K cache / 2G ram / 2GE on board) for NAT testing.
      WAN bandwidth is 400Mbps.
      testing load now is about 10Mbps(in)+10Mbps(out), cpu at 10%-20%
      what's the top performance can this machine reach while stable?
      thanks

        I hope you did search for info before posting or the bad ass pfsense bunny will jump at you :)

        If the nic's are intel and you are running beta 1.2 you shouldn't have any problem.

        For a performence test you can use netio or iperf

          You tell us. We don't have hardware that size to test, and requirements in a specific environment for a specific amount of bandwidth will differ greatly from one environment to another. I would guess it should do 400 Mbps with CPU to spare, but "it depends". CPU will likely be your first bottleneck so watch it while you're doing your testing.
