Its the fastest router platform Man has ever created, and its likely to say that way. If you are using FreeBSD 4.11 for 3 years you will be very unhappy Please don't use polling for a router. Good grief! Intel cards have built-in interrupt moderation. If you are pushing more than 100Kpps then you should increase your receive rings to 512. Otherwise just use the defaults in 4.11 for your best efficiency of your system. DT __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
