I wanted to say thanks to the OpenBSD team. I use OpenBSD and pf to filter and
route
traffic. I recently updated my home router to from OpenBSD 7.3 to OpenBSD 7.5
and process
couldn't have been easier thanks to `syspatch` and `sysupgrade`. I noticed a
post earlier
about hardware to filter and route at speeds greater than 100Mb/s. I've been
able to do this
on OpenBSD for a while. I'm writing this not only because my upgrade when well
but also
because I have the same question as the previous poster. I run OpenBSD 7.5 on
relatively
low CPU power Intel hardware for routers. I favor Intel 1Gb/s NICs managed by
the `em` driver but
in the market those are being replaced by other 2.5Gb/s NICs. I recently tried
out a box
from Qotom with Intel I226V NICs managed by the `igc` driver. My initial
experience was not
good but once I figured out that the issue was between the NIC and my switch,
things got
much better.
Thank you again
