Hi all,
I'm working on FreeBSD-based configuration code dating back more
than 5 years. Although this code uses NETGRAPH compiled into the
kernel, it also makes use of NGM_ETHER_DETACH and a self-rolled
NGM_ETHER_ATTACH to avoid having netgraph-attached interfaces when
mpd isn't needed.
In 2016, how is the state of ng_ether(4) performance to assert
whether this approach is actually useful or not.
the performance is much as it always was..
ng_ether passes packets to the next ng module as fast as they come.
netgraph does sacrifice some speed for generality, but I think it's
not too much.
Seeing that NGM_ETHER_ATTACH is not available and should usefulness
be implicated, would code for NGM_ETHER_ATTACH be merged into
FreeBSD?
sure.. diffs always appreciated.
Thanks,
Franco
