I am running 6.1 release on some systems. I have a question about the bridging changes in if_bridge.c which were made in the stable branch. I am having a problem bonding two heavily loaded network interfaces for IDS purposes. There is greatly increased packets droppage when using 'ifconfig bridge0 monitor' to merge the two sniff interfaces under 6.1 release. (I am trying to get around using two concurrent Snort processeses)
Is it expected that the new bridge monitor function introduced in the stable branch will have much less packet droppage in identical situations when bonding busy interfaces? If so is there a way to get this without upgrading whole system to 6.1 stable? Will binary upgrade using 6.1 stable ISO provide this functionality also? Also I had tried netgraph (and one2many) to bond the interfaces and it worked fine but at traffic peaks during day it would eventually stop seeing any packets at all on the virtual interface.
