Thanks again!

I wanted to say thanks to the OpenBSD team. I use OpenBSD and pf to filter and route
traffic. I recently updated my home router to from OpenBSD 7.3 to OpenBSD 7.5 and process
couldn't have been easier thanks to `syspatch` and `sysupgrade`. I noticed a post earlier
about hardware to filter and route at speeds greater than 100Mb/s. I've been able to do this
on OpenBSD for a while. I'm writing this not only because my upgrade when well but also
because I have the same question as the previous poster. I run OpenBSD 7.5 on relatively
low CPU power Intel hardware for routers. I favor Intel 1Gb/s NICs managed by the `em` driver but
in the market those are being replaced by other 2.5Gb/s NICs. I recently tried out a box
from Qotom with Intel I226V NICs managed by the `igc` driver. My initial experience was not
good but once I figured out that the issue was between the NIC and my switch, things got
much better.


Thank you again
