Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Anyone ever done any tests to see how many packets per second FreeBSD can route? Along the same lines, what about ipfw / accounting rules? Also Without saying "RTSL", can someone explain to me briefly how the kernel does its routing table lookups? (I wish I had time to spend hours looking though kernel source to figure it out myself, but work duties call..)
