Ok, I'll refine my question (after reviewing the tarball). Any chance that the related functionality provided by netfilter (--limit) will be built into PF in future releases. Obviously, this type of feature still has its limitations when your T1/E1/T3/E3 is being saturated by a thousand different source addressed garbage streams, but it would be nice nonetheless. 1) This is not a "pushy" request... I'm just curious. :) 2) Sorry for comparing PF to Netfilter. Not really comparing it, just using it as a reference point. -J.
