Building 100 Gb/s firewall, VPN
«

I'm looking for advice on hardware for high-throughput firewalls, with VPN, to connect two sites. Currently I use SuperMicro boxes with Intel or Chelsio 10Gb/s cards, but it's time to upgrade to 100Gb/s. The Intel E810 cards aren't shown on the FreeBSD hardware compatibility list; the Chelsio T62100-CR, T62100-LP-CR, and T62100-SO-CR cards are listed, although I haven't figured out the differences between them, or which would be best for this.
Suggestions, recommendations, or amusing horror stories would be appreciated.
Thanks.
- Ken

You might want to look into the BSD Router Project, if only for hardware and tuning/benchmarking docs.
