this may be, but in my case it was definely proxyarp! And it wasn't a thing that have to go or not to go! Blinking effects are happened....in my case.... And i have no performance issues. And i think proxy arp should never get a perfomance issue, probabliy a security issue, but not at performance.... This is what i know for sure! And you say it "normally".....in my case it wasn't normal..... :-D again for finding such errors don't trust them all......test all or nothing.....step by step ok, most relevant, possible first....or most easiest first.... and for good overview make a checklist for tested things, also with combinations, so i have also found hardware incompatibilities, that underlies no rules..... > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > > Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org > > -- === m i c h a e l - s c h u h . n e t === Michael Schuh Postfach 10 21 52 66021 Saarbrücken phone: 0681/8319664 mobil: 0177/9738644 @: m i c h a e l . s c h u h @ g m a i l . c o m === Ust-ID: DE251072318 ===
