Hi
Thanks, that did the trick. I'm am doing some testing with PF_ring, just to 
learn about its capabilities.
I have this setup:
client -- linux machine -- server

When a client is connected directly to the server, the client can send about 
151458 transactions/min
When I place a linux machine configured as a bridge with brctl, the client 
sends about 131822/transactions/min
with two instance of pfbridge (one each way) and pf_ring.ko at transparent=0 
running on the linux machine, the throughput is 7236/min
the same as above with transparent = 1, the throughput is 38040/min
with transparent = 2, the throughput is 57001/min

Is this the expected performance? Or would pf_bridge at full performance be 
expected to operate at about the same level as brctl?
I realise pf_bridge is just an example, but it is impressive to see the 
transparent options in action.

Thanks
