A lot of things can affect throughput and performance. For instance running ipfw witha huge list of rules is not the best thing to do. Even that, however, should not be the cause of a dramatic throughput decrease. Have you tried enabling net.inet.ip.fastforwarding with sysctl? sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fastforwarding=1 I don't know if it should make a huge differece, but it's name seems to be quite a temptation to me a long time now. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > "Don't let your schooling interfere with your education."
