hello due to unforseen circumstances. we had to replace a hp routerswitch with a linux bering router.
this router now routes 4096 real addresses with some 2500-3000 computers some natted behind other firewalls) 4 nicks 100 mbit, with eth0 to a 20 mbit link to the internet. and runs zebra and ospfd but. i have noticed that if i have shorewall up, the load gets quite high, and i also have a few packetdrops. with shorewall down i have 0 load and no packet drops. i need to filter/firewall between the 4 nic's to avoid forwarding rfc1918 packets to default gw, and filter access to the router itself. evrything else is go i guess a few manual iptables entries is a solution, but a shorewall config to minimise load would be preferable. can the bering 1.2 kernel be optimized for better performance in such a situation ? any thoughts ? mvh Ronny Aasen -- Ronny Aasen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
