Hi folks, I have a question about PF over FreeBSD. I would like to know how many connections can manage pf with 256 Mb of ram, I think that PF can manage a lot of connections because it only needs to negotiate the firts package of the connection then it would acept or deny the rest of connection's packages, but I don't sure if my thinks are right or not, anybody could say me if my argument is right or not? I have an Alix machine based in Geode LX800 processor with 256 Mb of ram, and I would like to know if I can do a firewall (PF) with my alix machine and put it in a place with a lot of traffic without troubles. Sorry for my english it's very poor :( Thanks a lot. -- "Linux is for people who hate Windows, BSD is for people who love UNIX".
