Server for high interupts application

[Maxime Kurkdjian]

Hello

	I'm designing a new architecture and I need to chose servers.

They will be heavily loaded by network trafic
- >1Gbps Full Duplex (average 500Mbps IN and OUT)
- 150kpps (both in and out)
Th current servers are facing 45k interputs / sec.

network interface will be e1000 on PCIe
OS: Linux 2.6

the server will do Routing, firewalling and loadballancing on Linux LVS.

Which server (rackable) will be the best choice ?

Thanks
