Hi
I actually use this system for our office of roughly 10 people. DHCP,
Squid, SquidGuard, Snort, IPSEC and PF. Works like a champ. Only a
single 100Mbit pipe coming in, but we are able to hit 97Mbit on
downloads. I haven't tested the throughput yet on the VPN side.

Gene,
I've used the PcEngines Alix2d3 board with Freebsd for a similiarly sized
office and had good success with it. We had a 30mbit pipe, 30 users, VoIP/QoS
and IPSec to our 3 data centers. Doing IPSec around 15mbit will put some load
on the CPU but it was able to handle it pretty well. I dont have exact PPS for
you, but it should be able to do 30mbit/sec easily.
The environment will have two WAN connections, each is a 50Mbit/10Mbit pipe.
I have a couple of the ALIX2d3 boards myself. They're great little
devices. If it can handle 30Mbit it would seem the larger Soekris
system (Atom 1.6GHz processor, 2 GB RAM, Intel NICs) should be more
than capable.
Thank you.

Is anyone here using the Soekris net6501-70 as a router+firewall? If
so what kind of performance are you seeing (throughput, PPS, etc)?
I'm considering this system for a 30-40 user environment. It will
handle web, ssh, voip, and other basic traffic. QoS will be needed.
Thanks.
