IPsec / ipfw interaction in 4.7-STABLE: a proposed change

2003-01-02 Thread Pekka Nikander
A fairly recent change in 4.7-STABLE modified the way IPsec ESP tunneled packets are handled by the ipfw code. There was a brief thread on this at the freebsd-stable mailing list in the end of November, see for example http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=270433+0+archive/2002/freebsd-stabl

Routing and Zebra

Hi, First of all, forgive me if my question is off-topic. I could have tried -questions but was afraid that is was kind of very specific. To the point: Two machines running 4.7, A and B, connected to the same switch. Both running zebra. When A is turned off, B receives A's traffic

Hello, In the ipfw man page, we can read: "To ease configuration, rules can be put into a file which is processed using ipfw as shown in the first synopsis line." Shouldn't be the 'last synopsis line' ? Thanks. oc To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freeb

Re: when are mbuf clusters released?

Thanks for the info. Could you explain how mbuf clusters and mbufs are related? i'd like to better understand how we can run out of one and not the other. also, is there an upper value for mbuf clusters that we should be wary of? again, the tuning page is quite vague on this. 64000 seems to

SMP status of networking subsystem?

Just a quick question.. Where do we stand on bringing the networking subsystem out from under Giant? The mbuf system is soon to be safe, thanks to Alan Cox, so this allows INTR_MPSAFE drivers. However, swi:net is still under Giant, as are many of the important socket functions (sendto(), recvfr

Re: when are mbuf clusters released?

Mbufs are data structures in the kernel. They contain information relating to data to be sent/received. Mbufs on my stable system are 256 bytes and mbuf clusters are 2048 bytes. I believe that there are 4 different types of mbufs and they are usually chained together, depending on the amount of
