Hello

I have few questions:

I am using mpd pppoe server with 400 simultaneous connections, on a P IV
at 3 Ghz, 1 GB ram, I have 20% cpu usage on peak.

I've purchased a Xeon server (with one CPU, but the motherboard is dual
Xeon) at 3 Ghz with 4 GB RAM.

My question should I purchase another CPU to use dual function (SMP)? It
will help me with mpd?

Yes it will help!


Another question: what ISO you use: freebsd 5.4 i386 or amd64 ?


I'm using i386 !

(The amd64 is on 64 bits, that should help to increase the speed of
FreeBSD server, but I was not able to use amd64 iso because it stop
booting when detecting the onboard RAID controller.)

You can check this and eventualy report to
http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64.html


And last question: what traffic shaping you use? I use pf with HFSC
algorithm wich works fine for hundreads of queues but is not good for
thousands, because is a linear algorithm.

If you do not use pf HFSC, but pf with CBQ or PRIQ or ipfw with
dummynet, please tell me how do you succeed to have QoS. For example I
need to have different pppoe connections with different speeds,
guarantee bandwidth.

I am looking for a long time for proper setting, i think Linux's HTB is
better but I want to use FreeBSD.

I'm using pppoed on cable network and traffic shaping & QoS was a part of
Dosis standard.
But IPFW is great solution, you can check WARTA on
http://www.hpi.net/whitepapers/warta/


Thank You
Best Regards,
Ovidiu
