Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I upgraded my home firewall today to sources as of last night and noticed that traffic via NAT is rather slow. For example, an ftp from a machine being nat'd I guess about 300Kbps. From the FreeBSD box, I get about 1Mb on my DSL connection. If I use squid or a proper proxy, its not an issue. This is both with the built in NAT on PPP and NATD by itself. Any ideas as to how to track this down ? 4.2-STABLE FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #0: Sat Dec 30 09:37:21 EST 2000 Its only a CPU: Pentium/P55C (167.05-MHz 586-class CPU) with 96M of RAM. ---Mike -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Network Administration, mike@sentex.net Sentex Communications www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada www.sentex.net/mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
