just out of curiosity... did you try kernel pppoe? man 4 pppoe
I found that to be much faster and more robust than userland pppoe, but still doesnt explain your issue... CPU usage dramatically dropped when using kernelmode pppoe. -JD At 08:42 AM 8/3/2007 -0400, M. Parsons wrote:
Hello, Running Openbsd 4.1 i386 as a firewall/nat box. I have connected to it a 6 mbps DSL pppoe connection. The pppoe works fine, as do all machines behind the openbsd box, they all can max out the 6mbps. But, transfers directly on the openbsd box (wget, ftp, whatever) all are limited to 150k/sec. I can run 4 of them at a time to max out the 6 mbps, but individually, they never go above 150k/sec. I notice that its been discussed before at " http://groups.google.ca/group/lucky.openbsd.misc/browse_thread/thread/6b23da898f218983/973782972742230e?lnk=st&q=openbsd+150k&rnum=3&hl=en#973782972742230e"; (I apologize for the long link) But I cant seem to find a solution. Its not the end of the world that transfers directly on the openbsd max at 150k/sec, but when updating the system or something I would like to get 600k. :-) Thank you Mark
