I am don't see sysctl for this. Re-compile is not comfortable. In any way, for this setup I am need to many resources, as I am calc: buf_num=1114112 ring_num=964 if_num=248 This can introduce to high overhead. > Please have a look at the source code if you can find where > you are hitting the limit, and which parameters are involved. > In case you don't find it, get back to us in a week (we are > busy on a deadline at the moment).
