Default value is 64 controlled by the sysctl(8) variable net.inet.ip.dummynet.hash_size, allowed range is 16 to 1024. and my question is if it's possible to somehow go beyond 1024, or if doing so wouldnt be adviced. (ie, performance would be poor or so) i'd need to experiment shaping with "large" supernets giving each single ip addresses a designated bandwidth. (i'm using gigabit, if someone wonders if i really need that many, and the answer is "yes") mickey To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
