Just more navel-gazing from UTCC. I still don't understand why all of these submissions get upvoted so often. 10G performance just really isn't that interesting anymore, maybe around 2005 when it was the new kid on the block. If they were talking about squeezing firewall performance out of a box with a couple of 200g or 400g adapters and on run-of-the-mill CPUs and no offloading or something like Netflix publishes with their BSD work, I'd be more interested.


Despite 10G being far from new it seems like somehow they're still not even achieving that with FreeBSD. Would be more interesting to see an upgrade to Linux.


It reads a bit like someone LARP'ing a sysadmin. Perhaps they're students or something.


Nah, Chris is definitely a real sysadmin and his blog has been pretty popular in this space for a long time.
