Hi folks,
i've got a server with FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE and pf with a gigabit
ethernet interface directly on internet. Two C class are routed over
it, and i sell shell account for irc processes. As you know on irc
many times the server is under DDOS attack many time up to 100 mb/s.
But with one gigabit connection the problem isn't the band of the
attack, my server's cpu load avarage goes extremly high, you can
verify here:

What can i do for decrease it?
Please help,
Regards
