The following reply was made to PR kern/156770; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Alexander V. Chernikov" <melifaro@FreeBSD.org> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, alter@alter.org.ua Cc: Subject: Re: kern/156770: [ipfw] [dummynet] [patch]: performance improvement and several extensions Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2012 16:35:56 +0400 Hello Alexandr! I'm afraid singe huge patch for legacy release is not the promising start. Since development model assumes new code being committed to -current first, you should probably port these features to -current (it does not differ from 8-STABLE much). It is also much easier to discuss/import features by small chunks instead of single huge change, so splitting every feature into separate diff is possibly a good thing to do. Please note that some of functionality (skipto tablearg, interface tables are already implemented in a different way). Personally for me index table for fast skipto/pipes, mapped tables and io_fast patch looks very promising, so we can discuss directly if you're interested.
