I have several devices that emit udp packets to a specific port every =
second.  Unfortunately, they cannot terminate that.  However, on my =
systems they show up in pftop and netstat.  Currently I have them =
ignored in pf.  They create state entries, but there is nothing =
listening to that port.  Will it use less CPU if I put a pf drop =
statement for that port?
