I am running 6.1 release on some systems. I have a question about the = bridging changes in if_bridge.c which were made in the stable branch. I = am having a problem bonding two heavily loaded network interfaces for = IDS purposes. There is greatly increased packets droppage when using = 'ifconfig bridge0 monitor' to merge the two sniff interfaces under 6.1 = release. (I am trying to get around using two concurrent Snort = processeses) Is it expected that the new bridge monitor function introduced in the = stable branch will have much less packet droppage in identical = situations when bonding busy interfaces? If so is there a way to get = this without upgrading whole system to 6.1 stable? Will binary upgrade = using 6.1 stable ISO provide this functionality also? Also I had tried netgraph (and one2many) to bond the interfaces and it = worked fine but at traffic peaks during day it would eventually stop = seeing any packets at all on the virtual interface. Thanks
