I had begin october a discussion with the author: Vladimir Vorobyev Another thing is that if you run as root you will run out of file-descriptors (it's loosing one for every packet coming from a non-reverse resolvable IP address due to the way FreeBSD is doing its them and the way the program is aborting them if they are timing out). A fix for them couldn't be submitted yet because of the way the BPF device is not able to run in a threaded environment yet, but it might be in FreeBSD 4.5 with the patches of John Polstra.
