With Path MTU Discovery (which is on by default), you effectively create a distict route for every host. Currently, routes appear to take ~20 minutes to expire. It seems perfectly reasonable for a big FTP or WWW server to see 50,000 different hosts in this period. This is getting fairly close to the 64K possible entries.

Why is there such resistance to moving from a short to an int? Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
