Network device driver KPI/ABI and TOE

2008-01-06 Thread Robert Watson
Dear all, Last month, Kip Macy committed support for TCP offload to the FreeBSD CVS repository for the Chelsio 10gbps device driver. We've had interest from other vendors in supporting TOE on FreeBSD, although it remains unclear as yet which will end up supporting it. This e-mail is about h

Implementation of Sampling for BPF

Hey All, I piped up a couple of weeks before Christmas regarding a need to control or at least reliably predict which packets a system would drop if too many packets where being received by the kernel destined for a BPF program. My particular example here is a copy of Snort monitoring a mirror of

Re: Implementation of Sampling for BPF

2008-01-06 Thread Peter Wood
Evening, I don't think that modifying bpf.c is good solution, as userland is not the only consumer of BPF, think, for example, about ng_bpf. Moreover, what is the purpose of sampling, after all? BPF was never intended to be reliable every-packet solution. Certainly other things do use BPF,
