Hardware Requirements for qdisc htb/sfq | |
| [Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] | |
I am planning to replace our cisco 7200 core router with Linux. We currently serve around 1500 (3/4 DSL - different router) customers with probably half of them being concurrent at any given time. We have a fiber network and customers currently aren't managed as far as how much bandwidth they can use at anytime. Therefore I have constructed a working tc qdisc Linux router as a test. It is working beautifully. My question is what are the general hardware requirements for routing to about 20 subnets (class c), traffic shaping for about 50 fiber customers (TC QDISC), 2 T1s (straight into the Linux router) and about 35MB of traffic out to the next ISP? We are planning to implement BGP sometime in the near future. I have been searching everywhere for some kind of guidelines, but I see none. If anyone could give me a round about answer that would point me in the right direction I would be obliged. This is what I have been looking at: 2.0GHz Dual-Core Xeon, 4GB 667MGz RAM, 2x1Gbit Network Interfaces. Is this overkill?
