Is there some limit on the number of IP addresses in an ipfw table?

No, generally handles much more. Please show your ipfw rule(s)
containing 'tablearg'.


01031         x            x allow ip from any to any
01040 x x skipto 1100 ip from table(127) to any out recv bce0 xmit bce1 01060 x x pipe tablearg ip from any to table(0) out recv bce0 xmit bce1 01070 x x allow ip from any to table(0) out recv bce0 xmit bce1
01100         x            x pipe tablearg ip from any to table(2) out
65535         x            x allow ip from any to any



table(127) contains country-wide ISPs' netblocks (under 100 entries).
table(0) and table(2) contain same user IP addresses, but different pipe IDs - normally around 3-4k entries each.

Now please pay special attention to rule 1031. I've added it to bypass dummynet and stop packets from being dropped for now. Normally the rule isn't there.

As I found out today after rebooting, drops only start occurring when the number of entries in table(0) exceeds 2000 or so (please see my previous email). Maybe it's a coincidence - I don't know. Global traffic load doesn't matter - it was approximately the same before and after the drops (around 450 mbit/s).
