Turn off pf, take out all of the sysctls and see what happens. Then start adding things in one at a time until you find what breaks it. It doesn't take much to do 625K/sec, the default configuration is easily capable of 30 times that. My guess is that either one of the sysctl 'tunings' has broken something, or an interaction between two or more of them has caused an unexpected behavior, but that's an easy enough theory to test. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBGk9GDJvkB8SevrssRAoA0AJ4q4BHMWLDtExrXnUwo6Wfe7rkVJgCfQfY0 hGjRf7gdHmd4b6j/hvG0wjA= =mvLq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
