It depends on the kind of packets you're sending. As a corollary to that, the overhead will probably *not* be symmetrical (in both directions). It also depends on how the tunnel is configured. For maximum-size regular Ethernet packets with IPv4 over IPv4, figure a couple of percent of overhead; for minimum-size IP packets, it will be over 30%. The latter case probably isn't a problem, though, because it's unusual to fill a symmetrical-bandwidth link with minimum-size packets. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
