Message-ID: <20000817135846.B70291@targetnet.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0pre1i Organization: Targetnet.com Inc. Sender: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Has anyone done any performance tests to determine if VLAN tagging adds any overhead to network applications ? I presume that the extra bytes are added at the same time at the ethernet header, so overhead should be minimal if any. Still, if this has been properly tested and figures are available, I'd appreciate a pointer. Thanks. -- j. James FitzGibbon james@targetnet.com Targetnet.com Inc.
