This is hardware dependent and cannot be changed. It takes a certain amount of time to get the packet out of the hardware in the ethernet card into main ram, this also hardware dependent and cannot be changed. (unless the device driver is terribly inefficient, which we will assume it's not) Once in main ram, the information in the packet has to go through a number of code statements. The more code statements the longer the information in the packet is sitting around in the FreeBSD system's memory. It then takes a certain amount of time to get the information out of main memory into the other sending ethernet nic's buffers, and it takes time to get it out of the sending nic back to the wire. Danial is claiming the slowness is in the main ram section of things, not in the ethernet driver code. polling makes the ethernet driver more efficient at high data rates, but it does nothing for the speed of processing within the TCPIP stack itself. At low data rates polling is less efficient than the interrupt method. And unless the nic driver is terribly inefficient to start with, the time it adds to the packet path in the system is minor compared to the time spent in the TCP/IP stack. Ted Thanks for the explanation. So would polling be beneficial or detrimental for a 100 mbps Ethernet card? Yes, if you were running 100Mbt's of bandwidth through it. Not sure if 100 mbps is considered high or low speed. I'm specifically interested in NetGear cards using the dc driver or DLink cards using the rl driver. The rl chipset isn't known as a very good chipset. YMMV Some of the Netgear cards use clone 21143 chipsets which are extremely inferior to the real thing. In particular if your Netgear card is using a PNIC chipset it is pretty bad with serious performance penalty. This is documented in Section 4 of the dc manpage. People seem to have good results with polling on the fxp cards.

Lousy network performance ...
I am having problems with a slow Internet DSL-connection, especially while surfing around the web. My service-provider claims that his network is just fine (of course!) and that the problem is because of all the 'so-called junk' I have configured on my home network on my side of the connection. On my side of the adsl-modem/router I have a router which is connected directly to two Windows XP desktops, via a switch to two FreeBSD machines (webserver and fileserver) and via a wireless link my combo FreeBSD/Windows XP laptop. I have Samba running for file exchange bweteen the Windows and FreeBSD boxes and I have port 80 opened on the adsl-moden/router to allow access to a couple of web sites I am running. Is there some kind of way to prove my ISP is wrong by doing a trace? What tools are available? How can I demonstrate that the bottleneck is not my home network but the DSL-connection?

Bridging VLAN's
Hi all, I've done some research on bridging vlans and can't get it right with FreeBSD bridge. What I want to do is bridge an undefined number of vlans through a BSD machine. For example. Vlan 10 from em0 out em1. Now I can't create each vlan and bridge those, because you can't have a vlan10 bound to em0 and to em1, if you create different ones and bridge them the packet comes in on the right vlan but leaves tagged for the wrong one. I read a cisco book that suggests you can bridge normally (just em0,em1) if you set the mtu to 1496, which didn't work. I also googled someone saying 1504 - also not working.

Re: FreeBSD router two DSL connections
Ted, Thanks for checking on me. I've been only two days with pfSense, and about 5 days with freebsd, and about 1.5 weeks with openbsd. However i would like to point out that i did not use, or did not know how to use, or have found the load balancing feature in the pfSense web interface. I also don't know if the load balancing mentioned in the docs is the same that i used. I was happy with pfSense because of the Packet Filter port to freebsd. I've been using Packet Filter of OpenBSD to load balance traffic to the same ISP with two lines. So far it looks like OpenBSD's Packet Filter's packet round-robin'ing is working nicely with FreeBSD.

This is hardware dependent and cannot be changed. It takes a certain amount of time to get the packet out of the hardware in the ethernet card into main ram, this also hardware dependent and cannot be changed. (unless the device driver is terribly inefficient, which we will assume it's not) Once in main ram, the information in the packet has to go through a number of code statements. The more code statements the longer the information in the packet is sitting around in the FreeBSD system's memory. It then takes a certain amount of time to get the information out of main memory into the other sending ethernet nic's buffers, and it takes time to get it out of the sending nic back to the wire. Danial is claiming the slowness is in the main ram section of things, not in the ethernet driver code. polling makes the ethernet driver more efficient at high data rates, but it does nothing for the speed of processing within the TCPIP stack itself. At low data rates polling is less efficient than the interrupt method. And unless the nic driver is terribly inefficient to start with, the time it adds to the packet path in the system is minor compared to the time spent in the TCP/IP stack. Ted Thanks for the explanation. So would polling be beneficial or detrimental for a 100 mbps Ethernet card? Yes, if you were running 100Mbt's of bandwidth through it. I assume you mean yes it's beneficial? :) Not sure if 100 mbps is considered high or low speed. I'm specifically interested in NetGear cards using the dc driver or DLink cards using the rl driver. The rl chipset isn't known as a very good chipset. YMMV Yeah, I've heard that a lot. It was an old card I had lying around and it seems to work OK for me. I'm not using it for anything other that connecting to a 802.11b wireless bridge. Very little traffic. Some of the Netgear cards use clone 21143 chipsets which are extremely inferior to the real thing. In particular if your Netgear card is using a PNIC chipset it is pretty bad with serious performance penalty. This is documented in Section 4 of the dc manpage. This is disapointing. I was under the impression that NetGear cards were pretty good. But now I looked closer at dmesg.boot and see I have the PNIC chipset you mention. I'll read the dc man page to see what penalties I'm suffering. People seem to have good results with polling on the fxp cards. Ah, the built in interface on a HP e60 server I have. It's an old dog used as a file server. It has been nothing but reliable and is still chuggin' along just fine. I'll enable polling on it and see if there's any noticeable improvement in transfer rates. The machine that typically is used for large file transfers to and from the e60 is a Windows XP box that has a Nvidia Nforce 4 chipset and whatever intergrated ethernet port that comes with that chipset. Are there any known issues with this setup that would invalidate my test? Thanks again for the info.

[LONG] vmstat: What I/O is blocked and how to fix it?
On two occasions recently, vmstat has showed me that a number of processes are blocked due to I/O. At the same time, the number of disk transactions per second reported is a small fraction of the disk's capability. I am thinking some kind of VM config will help, but based on what I have read, it is almost always best to let the default kernel behavior do its thing. Setup: Dual PIII 1.0 GHz (256MB L1 and L2 cache) 3GB RAM custom kernel (SMP + PF) 5.4-RELEASE one intel fxp0 network interface used (second unused) Case 1: (da0 36GB SCSI) The first case is simple: running spamd-setup to load the huge Composite Blacklist into spamd. The only other things running are sshd and spamd itself. When I run vmstat (vmstat -w 1 -c 10 output attached), it shows ten processes blocked due to I/O, 1 runnable and a total of four disk transactions during this particular ten-second interval. Accoring to postmark [1] da0 is capable of 250 transactions per second. Interrupts look fine (200 of the 300/sec is the clock, right?). No swapping. No network traffic to speak of. High CPU usage. Paging looks really high to me. I have plenty of RAM and swap--so why is it so high? Is there a kernel param I can tweak to improve performance? Note: While this was running, I tried running vmstat -m and got the kmem_map too small error. (I read the FAQ entry and haven't yet rebuilt the kernel using VM_KMEM_SIZE_MAX.) Should I make VM_KMEM_SIZE_MAX 400MB as mentioned in the FAQ? Any other kernel settings to switch from defaults when I build the kernel? Case 2: (mirror/gm0, da0 + da1 300GB SCSI) This case is more complex and more important. This box was heavily loaded, running SpamAssassin + ClamAv in one jail, Courier-MTA + MySql in another, and dspamd + pf in the jail host. It was processing about one incoming email per second, and had 20,000 entries in the spamd greylist and 4,000 in the whitelist. The black list was not loaded. Courier-authlib was using MySQL to figure out where to deliver the mail to for each of 20,000 virtual users. Courier-MTA was calling the ClamAV daemon via TCP/IP from a courier filter and calling SpamAssassin via TCP/IP from maildrop. Spamd (as in OpenBSD, not Apache) and courier were hitting the disk hard--I watched top in m mode [2] and over a five minute period these two apps had about pretty much 50% each of the WRITES. The only thing that jumps out at me is that when things finally do get written to disk, the context switches go really high. Is this a VM issue of some sort? The disk transactions per second are really low; this 300GB SCSI can do 730/sec according to postmark (well, this was testing on a single disk not with the RAID1 gmirror). Thanks for any tips. m [1] /usr/ports/benchmarks/postmark [2] Where can I find docs on what the columns mean in top's m mode? procs memorypage disks faults cpu r b w avmfreflt re pi pofr sr da0 da1 in sy cs us sy id 1 10 0 190424 1653924 1065 0 0 0 1337 0 0 0 796 2931 1971 3 8 89 1 10 0 190520 1653824 17407 0 0 0 17401 0 0 0 356 111 280 44 56 0 1 10 0 167376 1676992 23264 0 0 0 23264 0 0 0 359 119 301 40 23 37 1 10 0 190808 1659240 27728 0 0 0 29152 0 0 0 351 114 297 39 14 47 1 10 0 190936 1676864 18992 0 0 0 17544 0 4 0 352 115 286 39 45 17 1 10 0 191032 1676808 17586 0 0 0 17586 0 0 0 349 115 291 41 52 7 1 10 0 191160 1658572 28025 0 0 0 29374 0 0 0 347 114 270 42 10 47 1 10 0 191320 1676668 24949 0 0 0 23576 0 0 0 346 122 280 36 16 47 1 10 0 191384 1652968 17730 0 0 0 17724 0 0 0 350 111 278 41 59 0 1 10 0 191512 1665912 20409 0 0 0 23688 0 0 0 373 113 304 39 40 21 procs memory page disks faults cpu r b w avm fre flt re pi po fr sr da0 da1 insycs us sy id 0 27 0 345932 2622260 333 0 0 0 318 0 0 0 504 1261 842 8 3 89 0 25 0 341644 2622880 78 0 0 0 215 0 0 0 535 195 575 0 5 95 0 25 0 341644 26228800 0 0 00 0 0 0 455 159 458 0 6 94 0 25 0 341644 26228805 0 0 05 0 5 5 488 165 572 0 4 96 1 25 0 343856 2622408 270 0 0 0 126 0 3 4 472 867 706 1 7 92 0 28 0 355672 2620588 2356 0 0 0 1701 0 44 44 749 6224 1988 24 13 63 1 29 0 357616 2620356 1961 0 0 0 1757 0 44 44 819 7174 2333 46 15 39 1 29 0 357620 2620360 809 0 0 0 735 0 25 25 700 2694 1247 65 8 27 0 29 0

RE: ftp problem
Opening the high order ports is a security risk. This is a long standing problem with the FTP protocol. If you are going to have a FTP server on your FBSD box being accessible from the public internet, you should be using the built in FTP proxy in ipfilter firewall. The ftp proxy option only opens the single ftp data high order port number being used. This is much more sure than exposing all the high order ports. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Pietro Cerutti Sent: Tuesday, December 13, 2005 9:09 AM To: Imran Imtiaz; FreeBSD Subject: Re: ftp problem On 12/13/05, Imran Imtiaz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: they are comming on xl0 interface Then you should enable in/outbound traffic on your xl0 interface, for the ports from 49152 through 65535, used for the data-channel connection. -- Pietro Cerutti [EMAIL PROTECTED] Beansidhe - SwiSS Death / Thrash Metal www.beansidhe.ch Windows: Where do you want to go today?

Re: courier-authlib-0.58 dumps core at login
On Sun, December 11, 2005 9:44 pm, Louis LeBlanc wrote: Hey folks. Is it me, or is the courier-authlib port the absolute worst thing to upgrade? It seems like *every* single time I try to upgrade this port, I wind up with nobody being able to log into my courier installation. Usually, it's a simple matter of a simple manual restart of the daemon (it shuts down fine at deinstallation, but won't start back up when portupgrade is used), sometimes it's a minor config tweak. The thing is I keep forgetting this little issue for some stupid reason, and this time, I've got the darn thing dumping core every time someone tries to log in. The ports/security/courier-authlib-base/ port installs without any problems, but it only builds and installs the libauthpam.so module. This is fine, I guess, since I've removed all the other modules from the authmodulelist config - that's the only one it ever used before anyway. So, now I've gone through the whole fiasco of re-installing my entire courier-* setup, verifying ALL the configs for authdaemonrc, imapd, and imapd-ssl. Still, authdaemond dumps core anytime someone tries to log in. Anyone else see anything wierd with courier-authlib-base-0.58? I have googled for it, and all I get are links to the various copies of the ports/UPDATING file. Of course, it contains all the keywords I can come up with, but none are relevant to the recent issue - and the current UPDATING file has nothing about the latest courier-authlib update. BTW, I'm the only one on the system that can get mail, because I'm using mutt. My Thunderbird and Squirrelmail users cannot log into either imap service (imapd with squirrelmail, imapd-ssl remotely). So, this is a little annoying, and probably a bit urgent. I have the entire port configuration output if it's of any help. It looks like the config process cycles through 12 times. Any help would be appreciated. Well, it's been a couple days with nothing but an offlist warning that MD5 hashes are not safe anymore. Of course, I already knew this, which is why I explicitly mentioned that the hash had been changed (thanks all the same IR). At this point I have to assume nobody else has seen this problem. I finally decided to simply drop back to version 0.57 yesterday, so my other users are back to getting email. RANT I have to say, I'm a little annoyed with the regular problems upgrading the courier-auth packages, but I also recognize that it's not like I'm paying for the software, service or support. That said, I'm still more than happy with the courier server. I'll just have to remember to be more careful with this upgrade in the future. Hopefully this message in the archives will help others avoid the same headaches until the auth package catches up with the server package. /RANT Thanks all.

Once more - FTP to a remote site with your dual DSL links. Copy a FreeBSD ISO file to there. Watch as the upload speed IS NO FASTER THAN ONE OF THE LINKS. Ted I just looked at the pfsense site, and for an Internet Café, it looks promising. Two DSL lines to different ISP's does give a small amount of redundancy. Whether you use two routers or pfsense, you get some sort of load sharing but not load balancing. A more appropriate performance test for an Internet Café would be: Take a dozen PC's each to transfer a FreeBSD 6.0R ISO file from a dozen different mirror sites. Start them at the same time and see how long the all of the transfers take. You can test one DSL connection at N kbps and two DSL connections both at N kbps. You'll undoubtedly see the effect of load sharing if the dozen PC's are more or less evenly divided over the two DSL lines. The redundancy isn't great, and you will pay for it. Namely, two N kbps connections will cost you more than one 2N connection. If you ran my benchmark on a 2N connection you might actually see an improvement over two N kbps connections due to to its inherent load balancing. In any case, with a single (or a small number) of users (Ted's benchmark test) you would definitely see an improvement over two N kbps connections. Now the question: is a faster AND cheaper 2N connection a better setup than two N kbps connections for our fabled Internet Café? I'd personally go with the 2N connection. Almost all the time it would be better. Most large ISPs, for a little more money of course, will give you a faster response time on repairs. The ISP might even provide a bank of modems and you could implement multilink PPP as your backup. Regarding a combination of DSL and cable, that would be where pfsense may shine. This combo would definitely give a little better redundancy than two DSL connections to two ISP because the cable comes in to you building differently than the DSL/phone lines. A backhoe would have less chance of taking both out. Honestly, I still think a 2N connection would be better. -gayn Bristol Systems Inc. 714/532-6776 www.bristolsystems.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

getting iwi_firmware to work
I'm in the processing of putting together my new FreeBSD 6.0 (downloaded the iso image yesterday) laptop which has a Intel Pro/Wireless 2915ABG wireless card (as well as a firewire ethernet something?). The machine doesn't have a floppy drive and I haven't been able to build the drivers using the documentation at http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/ipw-freebsd.html and I think the links for the two freebsd ports located at http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/download.html are incorrect (maybe? both links point to the ipw-firmware). Does anyone have any instructions on how to get the wireless working without first having to use a third pccard since I can't use cvsup or download the ports as usual? I have a dual boot machine which I can read the primary ntfs partition (but not the fat32 partition -- very unhappy about that). ifconfig reports (and I typing to recreate this) fwe0: flags=108943UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMSIC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT mtu 1500 options=8VLAN_MTU inet6 fe80:f5ff:fe00:1c%fwe0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 02:90:f5:00:00:1c ch 1 dma 0 lo: blah, blah, blah Is that the hardwire ethernet device?

And, where again does the OS do it's processing... It could be the code, Well, if it's not, then your explanation and everything you have said up to this point sure strongly implies it. What's wrong Danial, now that you have actually had to think about it, now realizing you have some holes in your bitching? Scared that I'm about ready to start punching holes in your flimsy inferences? Not really, because its still a FreeBSD release, so whether its the driver or the scheduler or the code generated by the compiler, it still substantially worse than FreeBSD 4.x. And MP is SLOWER than UP for many functions. So specifically WHAT it is doesn't change my claim the FreeBSD 5.x and 6.x suck, at least relative to what you started with. If you take something and make it worse, and seem to have no ability to figure out WHY, then you're incompetent. Its as simple as that. I have posted a reasonable test and results, and there are countless complaints about performance. I think the fact that every time someone complains Robert Watson tells them to wait for 6.0, or wait for 7.0 is a pretty good indication that things aren't what the Teds and Krises claim.

HP-UX NFS client
synopsis: freebsd NFS server, HP-UX NFS client. Client succeeds if it uses automount to mount the volumes but fails if a manual mount is used despite options. question: anyone have experience in a similar enviroment that can point me toward a solution? We use HP's Data Protector as an enterprise backup solution (formerly known as omniback). It only supports NFS backups of FreeBSD systems. I'm having an issue manually mounting volumes from a FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE (using source from 12/7) system on an HP-UX 11i (11.11) system. If I automount the volumes everything works fine and the HP system is able to hook up as expected and it can access the desired files. However, if I try to manually mount the volumes I get: nfs mount: getaddr_nfs: monhegan: NFS service not responding(retry delay=5s) nfs mount: retry: retrying(1) for: /monhegan after 5 seconds nfs mount: retry: giving up on: /monhegan I've tried forcing the version to 2 (as well as 1) - still returns the same thing, no apparent change in behavior. I've made sure the HP box's nsswitch.conf is pointing to files for everything - still returns the same thing. Numerous other combinations of options have been tried with no luck - I can not duplicate automounts success. So... automount (not autofs) on the HP box works differently then a manual mount in some undefined way or at least uses a set of options for the mount that I've not attempted. nfsstat -m on an HP-UX system, with a manually mounted NFS filesystem will display the options and flags used to do the mount. It displays nothing for automounted filesystems. I'm not aware of anything on the FreeBSD system that would tell me what options an NFS client used to connect. Watching with tcpdump on the freebsd system I see that both the manual and automount attempts make connections to the box, but they do look different: manual mount: PORTMAP V2 GETPORT in PORTMAP V2 GETPORT Reply out MOUNT V3 NULL Call in MOUNT V3 NULL Reply out MOUNT V3 MNT Call in MOUNT V3 MNT Reply : : auto mount: NFS V2 NULL Call in NFS V2 NULL Reply out PORTMAP V2 GETPORT Call in PORTMAP V2 GETPORT Reply out TCP port 712 in TCP port 712 out MOUNT V1 EXPORT Call in MOUNT V1 EXPORT Reply out : : Unfortunately, we've had little luck using automounted volumes with Data Protector so we wish to manually mount the volumes in the pre-backup script an then umount them in the post-backup script. Has anyone manually mounted a FreeBSD volume from an HP-UX client?

(Was Re: Freebsd Theme Song) On 12/12/2005 8:13 AM Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: Michael, Fundamentally, here's the problem Danial is claiming exists: it takes a certain amount of time to get the packet clocked in from the network into the ethernet receiver. This is hardware dependent and cannot be changed. It takes a certain amount of time to get the packet out of the hardware in the ethernet card into main ram, this also hardware dependent and cannot be changed. (unless the device driver is terribly inefficient, which we will assume it's not) Once in main ram, the information in the packet has to go through a number of code statements. The more code statements the longer the information in the packet is sitting around in the FreeBSD system's memory. It then takes a certain amount of time to get the information out of main memory into the other sending ethernet nic's buffers, and it takes time to get it out of the sending nic back to the wire. Danial is claiming the slowness is in the main ram section of things, not in the ethernet driver code. polling makes the ethernet driver more efficient at high data rates, but it does nothing for the speed of processing within the TCPIP stack itself. At low data rates polling is less efficient than the interrupt method. And unless the nic driver is terribly inefficient to start with, the time it adds to the packet path in the system is minor compared to the time spent in the TCP/IP stack. Ted Thanks for the explanation. So would polling be beneficial or detrimental for a 100 mbps Ethernet card? Yes, if you were running 100Mbt's of bandwidth through it. I assume you mean yes it's beneficial? :) Thats just not true, or at least not globally. The right answer is: It depends on the hardware. Polling should NEVER be used for hardware that has built-in hardware interrupt throttling (such as fxp and em driver cards). polling has a LOT of overhead. Hardware hold offs give you the benefit of controlled interrupt reduction without adulterating your system with tons of extra clock interrupts. This has been discussed over and over, and still some of the people who are supposed to know about this have no clue whatsoever. polling is ONLY a POSSIBLE advantage is your hardware actually interrupts for every event. Good controllers do not. I don't know the specs of every card/chipset, but with intel cards you definitely do NOT want to use polling, as an example. Regardless of the hardware, if you see a substantial increase with performance its because the OS is broken and not because of the polling, particularly if you have a relatively low volume of traffic. The same number of cpu cycles are needed to process the packets whether you poll or not. As an example, changing the number of receive interrupts per second from 10,000 to 25000 on an em card (4.9 OS, which is known NOT to be broken) pushing 100Kpps yields about a 3% difference in cpu load (no noticable difference in performance). For an average load server doing less than 1K pps, on a modern processor the cpu load difference is not significant enough to make much noticable difference in performance. Of course anyone using a realtek or cheap controller on an expensive machine is just a plain fool; spend the extra relative pennies for a controller that actually works properly. I'm amazed at the number of idiots running MP machines with cheap ethernet controllers. Its like putting $25. tires on a porche. DT __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

sysinstall swap node problem

Re: Order of installation for Apache, PHP, IMAP, and MySQL
Jose Borquez wrote: I need to install and configure Apache, PHP, IMAP, and MySQL because I would like to install Group Office which is a groupware application sweet. I need to know if there is a specific order that I need to install the applications listed above. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, Jose Installing PHP (/usr/ports/lang/php$n) will pull in Apache 1.3 by default, and client libraries for IMAP support and MySQL support when you install (/usr/ports/lang/php$n-extensions). I'm assuming though, that you mean an IMAP *server* and a MySQL *server*; in which case I'd do either of those first, and followup with PHP and php-extensions. In any case, installing should be as simple as moving to the appropriate directory under /usr/ports, and typing (as root) make install clean at a command prompt. Although it'll be boring, I'd suggest sitting in the general vicinity of your terminal, as, if this is a fresh install, you will be prompted for configuration by a curses mode options menu. You can, however, get around this by doing all your config on the command-line; but that's a rather lengthy command string, and might take almost as much time to discover all the perfect values for. The good news: should you desire to reinstall the apps, the configuration should be saved for you. See ports(7) for more information.

I am having problems with a slow Internet DSL-connection, especially while surfing around the web. My service-provider claims that his network is just fine (of course!) and that the problem is because of all the 'so-called junk' I have configured on my home network on my side of the connection. On my side of the adsl-modem/router I have a router which is connected directly to two Windows XP desktops, via a switch to two FreeBSD machines (webserver and fileserver) and via a wireless link my combo FreeBSD/Windows XP laptop. I have Samba running for file exchange bweteen the Windows and FreeBSD boxes and I have port 80 opened on the adsl-moden/router to allow access to a couple of web sites I am running. Is there some kind of way to prove my ISP is wrong by doing a trace? What tools are available? How can I demonstrate that the bottleneck is not my home network but the DSL-connection? Unplug your router, plug in a PC to the adsl-modem. Set the PC to your router's external IP address, DNS, and gateway. Test the speed. (If your ISP won't provide a speed test, Google for DSL speed test and pick an appropriate one.) If you got your ISP to visit you, this is what they would do. They won't (and shouldn't) believe anything else. Your web sites will be down for less than 5 minutes. -gayn In addition to the above - keep in mind that most DSL/ADSL is for the most part, 1.4 meg download and 128k up. What does that mean? Well - consider the fact while you run a few webservers, users browsing to those sites are only abable to access it by my above example, 128k. Now, imagine several users from the world accessing those same sites. Do you see where the issues are? Your provider may very well be telling you the truth. You may be saturating your pipe without even knowing it. -- Best regards, Chris It is morally wrong to allow suckers to keep their money. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Getting the network traffic amount since the interface went up
I am interested to know the total amount of data passed through a network interface (em0 in my case) since the interface went up. So far, i have seen that pload, nload, netstat -b -I report the amount since the operating system has been up, not since the new ethernet connection has been (re)established. Is there a way to find out the amount of traffic (in out) since a network interface has been up (not since the OS has been up)? - Parv -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
