Hi Mike, Thank you for spending that much time for benchmarking, this is really interesting. Though this is a little bit off topic, I'm quite puzzled by the fact that having filtering rules on Linux or not doesn't change the result much. NetFitler keeps track of *all* connections even if there are no ruleset loaded -- you don't have to ask for it, so I guess you are simply wiping filtering rules, but you don't disable connection tracking. AFAIK, you can only disable it by either unloading the `conntrack'' module or recompiling the kernel without it, if built in. It would be interesting to know the real performance of Linux as a mere router if we want a true comparision with FreeBSD performances.
