Hello Sam, I don't have the answer to this question, but I can make a few comments on my own behalf. Maybe it can give you an idea. As far as I observed, it is not PF's turn yet. I guess what needs to be done regarding cloned interfaces such as tun and the ethernet layer will be done first. In fact, as far as I follow, there are some issues in the UDP_input section. Of course, I'm sure a lot will change when PF becomes mp-safe, but I believe there is still time for that. PF's performance can reach up to 10Gbps with the right CPU selection. Do you have traffic that exceeds this? Maybe if you can provide specific information there will be a chance for someone to help. ________________________________ From: owner-m...@openbsd.org <owner-m...@openbsd.org> on behalf of Samuel Jayden <samueljaydan1...@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2023 17:54 To: Irreverent Monk <goodb...@gmail.com> Cc: misc@openbsd.org <misc@openbsd.org> Subject: Re: Parallel PF
I shared a naive user experience. I didn't mean to be rude. Anyway, thank you for reading and responding.
