Hi all, I just curious about the availability of inline/bypass ethernet NIC for FreeBSD. Maybe my google search skill is low, but I cannot find any information about that. The only thing that comes to me is this URL from Intel

127.0.0.1 missing from the routing table

2007-09-22 Thread Edwin Groothuis
Hello, Since this behaviour happened on a lot of different OS releases (from i386 till amd64, from 4.10 till 6.2) I doubt that it is a FreeBSD specific issue, but I still would like to hear if somebody has ever seen this behaviour: We run Quagga with OSPFD on our FreeBSD machines to

Firewall and VPN considerations

Hello I am planning on setting up a FreeBSD Firewall that will be used to protect a LAN. The firewall will also act as a VPN-gateway for external workstations running Windows XP Professional, I will use Microsoft's ipsec software included in the Windows XP. I will also use the firewall's

Re: Quagga as border router

2007-09-22 Thread Randy Bush
I would like to see NOTHING running anything that looked too much like 5.x. And I can't really think the 6.x (while much better that 5) would be a good choice for a route processor. juniper merely uses freebsd as a framework. all route processing, and anything to do with routing, is extremely

BFD support

2007-09-22 Thread Richard A Steenbergen
Has anyone out there done any work on implementing BFD (thats bidirectional forwarding detection, not anything else you might be thinking :P) for BSD? I'm a little surprised, I can't even seem to find so much as a userland version of it, let alone anything resembling a proper kernel

TX Multiqueue?

2007-09-22 Thread Jack Vogel
Our newest E1000 nic, the 82575, and the Oplin 10G hardware are capable of multiple queues both on the receive and the send side. On the receive end for the Oplin driver the queues actually help distribute interrupts and improve performance without any special support in the stack. I have been

nat and ipfw - divert or builtin

2007-09-22 Thread Randy Bush
