That's good news. Maybe I should take another look at OpenBSD, especially since the SMP support's a few years old now and pretty stable. > > Multipath setups are harder to debug as packets may flow differently. > Often it is easier to use a layer 2 trunk to aggregate links.

We currently have a lot of success with failover, but at times it seems a waste to have idle paths when others running in the same direction. Not that I wasn't expecting the difference in arrival time of packets not to effect performance in that scenario, but not to the extent you suggest. I guess we could stick with OpenWRT routers, but it would have been so nice to move in more BSD! > I hope that we can get more routing stuff done in the next few weeks but > the way routing is implemented in BSD makes it harder then necessary. > I bet andre@ will start to port features to FreeBSD as soon as the > stabilised in OpenBSD. I guess I will go and try it out on OpenBSD. If nothing else it's one more install being tested and making a more compelling argument to merge it into FreeBSD. I look forward to seeing what is on its way. _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
