THESE INTERRUPT NUMBERS DON'T SEEM TO MATCH UP WITH THE
ABOVE LOAD
NUMBERS. I'D EXPECT A HIGHER INTERRUPT LOAD. YOU COULD
ALSO TRY TO
REPLACE THE SK(4) ADAPTER WITH ANOTHER EM(4) OR THE LIKE? I
HAVE HAD
TROUBLE WITH SK(4) IN THE PAST.

441000.4/S
441KPPS ARE QUITE A LOAD! AND THIS IS WITH ONLY 5000
CONNECTIONS. WHILE
FREEBSD CAN FORWARD 1MPPS AND MORE ON COMMODITY HARDWARE
500-700KPPS IS
PROBABLY THE LIMIT WITH (SENSIBLE) FIREWALLING. IT'D BE
SURPRISED IF YOU
COULD DO SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER WITH ANYTHING ELSE. N.B. THAT
THIS COULD
BE IMPROVED BY USING FINE GRAINED LOCKING FOR PF - THIS IS
ON MY TODO
LIST FOR QUITE SOME TIME, BUT I DIDN'T YET GET TO IT.
