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

I wouldnt expect more than 10GB IPsec, no matter which hardware

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