Is there a counter rolling over somewhere ? no idea. BTW it seems that you are adding in and out traffic. when i said 260kpps i meant that the box was receiving 260kpps (actually more) and transmitting 260kpps. On the other hand i had basically no firewall work, so that is in line with your numbers. cheers luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
