[Oisf-users] Sizing Suricata

[Peter Manev]

Hi,

More cores always help.
I would think Individual CPU's is better - but 64core for 1-2Gbit is
unnecessarily excessive i believe.
Suggestion - more RAM is always good to have/handy and cheep (depending on
the size of the rules set that you would like to run).
Just my opinion.


We are planning for some 10G traffic tests and we will publish/update the
High Perf Configuration in a couple of weeks (I hope).

thanks
