Re[4]: Polling For 100 mbps Connections? (Was Re: Freebsd ThemeSong)
Hello all, Or maybe FreeBSD just sucks wind? I promise you that no machine known to man can pass 150Mb/s and be 99% idle. Get a god-damned clue for pete's sake. All polling does is screw up accounting so the timings are wrong. At best there's a marginal difference in performance. You still have to process the packets. Lets see, this Test would mean that his box could handle 100 x 150Mb/s, or 15Gb/s. Thats quite a little router you have there! lol. I have to recognize that I didn't follow the thread very carefuly and I propbably missed some posts. I just wanted to say that when using freebsd as a pure router using intel cards, polling realy helps. I've noticed 10-20% CPU utilization decrease with polling enabled. Second, I didn't mean 150Megabytes/sec, rather Megabits/sec. Third the actual CPU load is ranging from 0-4% (according to top), but with an average of 1%. And finally I just did a test and enabled polling on that box. The CPU idle state immediately dropped to 88% while interrupts increased to 10-12%.

SSH doesn't use any tunneling, it uses ordinary TCP connection on port 22, with one exception, it encrypts everything that is sent accross this connection. So, I assume you need a tunnel between two hosts to transport some non routable or routable protocols (may be even ip in ip) with or without encryption.

To create an ldap schema file which will have an objectclass with the accountEnabled attribute (and maybe some others too). To include this objectclass for DNs containing users and somehow to create a filter in nss_ldap config file wich will do the filtering taking into account the accountEnabled flag.
