I would like to know, and hope those that have worked with NIC drivers mi= ght=20 be able to tell me, if there are any commodity NIC cards that have onboar= d=20 receive buffers and are well suited to receiving lots and lots of traffic= =2E The application is SNORT on FreeBSD 4.6, so the traffic is all receive, t= here=20 is no IP assigned to this NIC card. And are there any other recommendations that anyone has on tweaking for l= arge=20 amounts of receive traffic, no xmit traffic. In a one hour this am, this interface received 1,816,114,954 bytes in=20 1,354,840 packets, and shows 15 Ierrs Also, would doing minor changes such as disabling ARP on this nic help th= ings? TIA for any help on this. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
