: 6.x, 4.x ipfw/dummynet pf/altq - network performance issues

[Justin Robertson]

   Sack was never enabled, the packets in the flood had sack set. 
rtmaxcache was default, what made you think I had changed it? I was not 
running SMP, as I explained.

  More over suggestions to do ether.ipfw result in terrible performance, 
etc. A 4.11 bridge and 4.11 router in series move all packets without 
issue. I'll play with rtexpire and rtmin
