Hi!
As bpf devices is a some limited resource, and as far as i know the kernal is 
like single-thread when performing filtering each packet thr many active bpf 
devices.
So the question applying to ethernet trunk where one eth port spans multiple 
vlans, or i.e. multiple mpe.In terms of performance/botlenecks - is the 
multiple different bpf filters applied to one port (eth) looking better than 
such filters applied to many vlan interfaces with unique bpf dev for each.
Additional question.Is there any known or theoretical number of unique active 
bpf devices whenkernal can be locked by filtering processing?
Thanks.
