Hello Valdrin, I am also aware that attaching PF to more than one CPU will not be enough, and I think I have been misunderstood; I do not reproach about this. Just a curiosity on my part.
As far as I learned from users who wrote me private messages, OpenBSD does not have a public RoadMap. Of course, I respect this. I was just asking if maybe a developer would come along and at least satisfy the curiosity of us users, even if he didn't give a date. I apologize again for being misunderstood. I never meant to be rude. As a user, I still don't think wishing multiple PF tasks is a bad thing. On the contrary, I think user experience will be given importance. On the other hand, I will upgrade my OpenBSD 7.3 firewall running in a VMware environment to 7.4. By the way, I will use ix(4) instead of vmx, thanks to SR-IOV technology, and I am sure I will get a performance increase. I would like to thank the OpenBSD team for developing this beautiful operating system.
