Hello,

This morning i turned on polling (as in -STABLE of yesterday) on a
firewall box running ipfilter. From now everything looks good (but most
of users are coming only after 10 AM UTC ...), but i already have:

kern.polling.lost_polls: 557
kern.polling.suspect: 468

(with ~ 200 000 routed datagrams)

This in on a fxp driver, with vlan enabled.

On another box (connected only to 512Kbits adsl network with pppoe)
running polling for one week i see:

kern.polling.short_ticks: 1158
kern.polling.lost_polls: 13710
kern.polling.suspect: 13603

What exactly mean these variables ? Should i worry ?
