Subject: Re: IPFilter practical limits?

Should there have been a message somewhere that the insert into the state
table failed or there was no more memory available?
When the limits are reached, you'll see a non-zero number next to the
line with "maximum" in it from running "ipfstat -s".

So you are saying that any value that is non-zero next to maximum shows a state table that has reached its limits ?

I have three different numbers on three different yet identical servers and am trying to figure out what the maximum value would actually be.

So which one is right ?
