Please shed some light on this for me. What would be your point, please? 1) Localhost doesn't even reach the wire; 2) localhost pings on freebsd seem to be 3 times faster than the linux ones (according to your data.) What did you want to ask? Perplexed minds wish to know. BTW, tcpblast on loopback device (localhost) is slow on 2.1 because of the slightly bogus mtu of 16K. Set it to something more reasonable like 1500 /Marino > > TIA > >
