Heh. I had not heard of that plane. Ceiling, 500 feet.
"As a result of its size, passengers were asked to crowd together onone side or the other to help make turns. "very apt analogy for these mailing lists!
Indeed. "A successor, the Do-20, was envisioned by Dornier, but never advanced beyond the design study stage.”
Really? I’m shocked.
Another behemoth...
I still think a box like that will be useful for veth testing.
I put it through some paces last night, trying 4Gbit workloads.
I’ve been really happy with the 2x APU2 you suggested, for their four cores
and silence. I even think 2-3 more of them could be useful for different
testing topologies as we discussed.
I like them a lot, too. We have to come up with a test that uses up 3
ethernet ports...
I have just such a test planned, as a middlebox for poor-man’s full-duplex p2p WiFi. One port in, one for egress and one for ingress, same on the other end of the link. I tried it last year with 2xAPUv1 but one link was still a cable because I didn’t have four NSM5s, so the results looked artificially good. Now I have them, so it’s just a matter of setting it up again...
