> if it's 1k states per MB RAM, you're into trouble at 300k. the kernel only has so much space to play in. ok thats the kind of info I wanted to hear, so kernel space can go up to ~300MB ? is this a tunable paramter anywhere or is it hard coded? is this a "low memory" vs "high memory" thing? if so is there a good way to monitor "low memory" on openbsd? I tried doing some google searches and all I found was people running out of memory. e.g. on linux HighTotal: 3276224 kB HighFree: 543892 kB LowTotal: 814956 kB LowFree: 612496 kB also one last Q - when you allocate memory for states in the pf config, say I allocate for 200k states does that allocation happen when the config is loaded or is it dynamic? Just wondering if I do exceed the limit should I expect it to misbehave immediately upon reload(even if it isn't holding that many states) or not until it actually hits the state limit. thanks nate
