that works. no guarantees on any effect, tho :) > Theoretically the packets dropped due to CPU thrashing would be limited to > the lower prio packets..?!? depends on which layer drops it... if MCLGETI kicks in (likely, it is a bit too agressive for machines only/mostly forwarding packets, but OpenBSD has a lot more uses than just that -> compromise) you have zero control over what gets dropped since the NIC does it already. -- Henning Brauer, [email protected], [email protected] BS Web Services GmbH, http://bsws.de, Full-Service ISP Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS.
