What is the definition of "tightloop"? The received packet mbufs are freed when the packets get processed/discarded which happens once for a packet. The received packet rate is 50000-150000 packets per second. > > If so, and it does, can you please explain how to exactly replicate > the test? Mirror a port with ~300-800Mbps of IP traffic to an em port. Just enable promisc and monitor so it drops the packets after interrupt processing. The overhead beyond that is neglible compared to mb_free. Pete To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
