Anyway, I have a small network setup with natd and a cable modem, and = everything works pretty slick. I have a question dealing with = performance.... During streaming applications (online gaming comes to mind since I host = a lan every month with this small setup) natd seems as if it cannot keep = up. There will be seconds (never more than 1) of lag that are not = accountable for. I previously used linux for my gateway to the internet, = which seemed to have no problem with the streaming applications. I was = wondering if there is a faster implementation I could use as my gateway = with freebsd. I have been reading about ipfw and ipfilter. Would = ipfilter be any faster in this case?and is it easy to implement? or is = there a way to speed up the nat translation using natd? Any help is = appreciated, or any other lists I could post this on for an answer is = also.Thanks ------=_NextPart_000_0014_01C0655C.87E37000 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.50.4207.2601" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I am not sure if this is exaclty the = right list for=20 this question, but it's worth a shot....</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Anyway, I have a small network setup = with natd and=20 a cable modem, and everything works pretty slick.
