states are only allocated on demand. you could set the limit to a billion
with no problem until you actually start using too many states. the limit
is there to protect you from the firewall imploding.
thanks for all the info, very useful! hopefully such info can
get added

ok thats the kind of info I wanted to hear, so kernel
space can go up to ~300MB ? is this a tunable
paramter anywhere or is it hard coded?
it is actually 768MB on i386, but you can't use anywhere close to all of
it for pf states. it is hard coded.
is this

Can I run with 200k states? 500k ? 1M states? 'top' reads
1833MB of memory is available. The docs say that 32MB
is enough for ~30k states. so in theory memory wise at
least this box should be able to handle at least
1.6M states. Not that I plan to keep that
Well,
I'm running a similar setup, only Xeon 2.4 dual and running with 300k
states, the info so far is:

Greetings
I don't have a good way to test generating large numbers
of states so I was wondering for a server with 2GB of memory
which all it does is pf how many states can it handle? I
started with the default of 10k, exausted that pretty quick,
5 matches
