How are you testing for latency, so I can duplicate on my side? I am running
through a Netgear RP614v3 to a Motorola SB5100 cable modem. My nic card is:
skc0 at pci1 dev 10 function 0 "D-Link Systems DGE-530T A1" rev 0x11, Yukon
Lite (0x9): irq 5
sk0 at skc0 port A: address 00:15:e9:2e:28:e6
I'm just running pf with this config:
block in
pass out
I hope to re-write my config this weekend per the suggestions to use altq. I
just need to read the documentation, but pf will be running locally. Once I
figure it out, I wanted to replace my Netgear with a soerkis box running
openBSD.
Now, I had the timeouts before enabling pf, and I haven't seen them lately, but
I haven't been aggressively downloading with bittorrent either. I hope to test
this weekend once I figure out what I need to do to provide meaningful results.
Thanks,
Brian
