Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk If you have too many packet filters (either unused or in use) will it cause your network to stop working? :) I have a P-100 here on my desk with an old SMC Ultra, and if I put in more than 16 bpfs, the card simply doesn't work. Alternatively, can someone tell me how to eke more users out of the CAP package? Currently, I'm dying at about four. Marc. -- na bhavet.h jArajeNa chUrNita
