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