I can't replicate if I just create 30 lo* interfaces and run tcpdump.. do you have other tcpdump running? how many bpf are in use? (fstat|grep bpf) - you know they need device nodes in /dev and by default you get 10? > I need to have around 50 total interfaces to complete the project and I need > tcpdump. Pf still seems to find them for redirects so I am not sure if it's > an OS issue or a tcpdump issue. More likely tcpdump/bpf. I think it's highly probable that there are people here running with many more interfaces (at least vlan) than that. > OpenBSD xxxx.xxx.xxx 4.1 GENERIC.MP#1152 amd64 PF has improved greatly since 4.1, by the way.
