I think we have to mention this there. It was the first place where I looked how to speed up hping. I think the info about gettimeofday (and replacements) and the ENOBUFS situation have to be explained little more there. I do not expect developers, that write programs for linux to read the FreeBSD wiki, but it will help people like me - not very experienced in coding, to produce patches/ports without bothering too much advanced developers :) It will be good if there are some examples too. -- Best Wishes, Stefan Lambrev ICQ# 24134177
