No because certain people argue that having a 64 bit counter slows down the machine to the level of a 386SX-16 and who needs large counters anyway... IMO 64 bit interface counters are a must and ipfw counters are 64 bits wide since 3.0 without any noticeable impact on performance (other than rule processing). -- Andre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
