If this machine is dedicated for pf then setting sysctl net.isr.direct=0 might also improve performance, by forcing all packets to go through a single netisr thread (assuming that net.isr.maxthreads is 1). Note that this will apply to traffic that does not go through pf, so if this machine were doing other network things (e.g. serving NFS) then it would bottleneck your other traffic behind your pf traffic.
Hmm, we see this: [2.0.2-RELEASE][admin@fire02.cghub]/root(1): sysctl net.isr.direct net.isr.direct: 1 [2.0.2-RELEASE][admin@fire02.cghub]/root(2): sysctl net.isr.maxthreads net.isr.maxthreads: 3 Should I set net.isr.maxthreads=1 before setting net.isr.direct=0 ?? _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
