I haven't set up any serious systems yet on netbsd-6*. When I rolled out my netbsd-5*'s I had to use:
options NMBCLUSTERS=262140 If I used anything less than that the system would go sideways within 10 minutes at our current loads. I was also constantly battling ipfilter defaults as being too low too. I end up bumping these values too: options IPSTATE_SIZE=92111 options IPSTATE_MAX=64433 options NAT_SIZE=2047 options RDR_SIZE=2047 options HOSTMAP_SIZE=8191 options NAT_TABLE_MAX=180000 options NAT_TABLE_SZ=16383 As all of this gets the kernel to set aside memory, I'm not sure if they interact with each other. Even with these configs I'm not sure that the systems could router/firewall a 50Mb/s network without gasping. I've solved this by using with multiple systems to balancing the load. I don't do much with desktops though I get the feeling that this is how most of the community uses the OS. I'll have to jump into 6.1 and see how things have change. peter
