Alternative is the EXPI9300PTBLK or EXPI9400PTBLK, both use the Intel 82572EI chipset and function properly under RouterOS 4.5.ĭid you have any problems booting to the SATA SSD? NOTE : These network cards are not supported by RouterOS 4.5, have to wait for RouterOS 4.7 to support them. Clearly this design could handle alot more traffic, ipsec vpn connections, and more extensive rules without worry when it comes to the performance. So if you needed a 2 network card setup, cost for such a solution is $640. We use the iStarUSA D-300-PFS ($89 from eio.com) and the Antec EarthWatts 430 power supply ($60) In theory this router should be able to handle 1000mbps upload/download concurrently (460k pps) before hitting 100% cpu usage.
We have this router active with 6 gigabit ports (RouterOS 4.6 doesn't support the onboard nic yet) and are able to achieve 80mbps Upload (15k pps)/50mbps Download (13k pps) at 6% cpu usage under routerOS 4.6. SSD : Transcend 2gb Flash SSD SATA (TS2GSDOM22V) $44Īdditional NICS : EXPI9301CT (QTY 2) $30/each and Intel EXPI9404PTL $368 () Memory : Kingston DDR3-1333 Dual Channel 2gb Memory Kit ($60) Prices below are from directron to give you an idea on pricing. If you want additional performance or plan to run at 150mbps+, consider building a Core i5-750 solution, the price is about $640-$865 for all the parts (depending on # of nics you need). Our experience is an Intel E4600 Core 2 Duo running in 2 core mode (enable multicore in routeros) runs at 16% cpu usage at 70mbps of traffic coming inbound (probably 20mbps going outbound). What kind of bandwidth do you need to handle? What kind of configuration/firewalling are you doing? How much IPsec traffic? A quad core i5/i7 will give you the best performance, then it goes core i3, core 2 duo, dual core, atom.
