Thanks, I'll see into that if fast-forwarding doesn't help.
Phew, were "out" that bad? I left them in as commentary.
And the localhost anti-spoof check isn't such a bad security ring to get
rid of in the name of performance ;-)
Ok, got you, I'll take a note of it, thanks.
man 4 inet:
IPCTL_FASTFORWARDING (ip.fastforwarding) Boolean: enable/disable
the use
of fast IP forwarding code. Defaults to
off. When
fast IP forwarding is enabled, IP packets
are for-
warded directly to the appropriate network
inter-
face with direct processing to completion, which
greatly improves the throughput. All
packets for
local IP addresses, non-unicast, or with IP
options
are handled by the normal IP input
processing path.
All features of the normal (slow) IP forwarding
path are supported including firewall (through
pfil(9) hooks) checking, except ipsec(4) tunnel
brokering. The IP fastforwarding path does not
generate ICMP redirect or source quench
messages.
I'm afraid a bit that it will lock up the live remote system. Is it a
drop in replacement given my ipfw rules? Why isn't it enabled by default?
