I think the first thing I would do is go back to a default=20
configuration.  Turn off pf, take out all of the sysctls and see what=20
happens.  Then start adding things in one at a time until you find=20
what breaks it.  It doesn't take much to do 625K/sec, the default=20
configuration is easily capable of 30 times that.  My guess is that=20
either one of the sysctl 'tunings' has broken something, or an=20
interaction between two or more of them has caused an unexpected=20
behavior, but that's an easy enough theory to test.


=2D-=20
