Hi,
I have two NICs (3com 59x vortex) on my firewall
(bridge code 0.0.3 + 2.4.14 kernel + 1.2.4 netfilter) this morning there
was *MASSIVE* amount of probes from outside and at numerous point the
firewall log gave the following message
eth0: Too much work in interrupt, status e401.
I understand that it appears if the driver cannot handle the interrupt
within the specified time, but my question, then is what happens to the
packet that arrived at eth0? Does it get passed through to the other
interface without being checked my the netfilter rules?
And for how long does this state last?
Thank you
Andrew Park
