This effect make other sysctl variable: net.inet.ip.stealth
net.inet.ip.fastforwarding described in inet(4).
I have appreciable increase in productivity at the Core2Duo processor
with several em network cards after enabling
net.inet.ip.fastforwarding. Before enabling fastforwarding "swi1: net"
use 100% of one cpu, the second core stood idle. After enabling
fastforwarding "emX taskq" processes use both cores.
