What is won by unloading a module anyway? Memory the

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone else has had problems with

It seems that if I do sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fastforwarding=1 after a few

horribly.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated

That said, it should be observed that a "kerneld" would restrict the code
