Hi,

I'm testing netfilter performance here on
PIII 1.2GHz based systems. With default
kernel configuration, netfilter is able
to process 85,000 pps with 125 rules (all
rules matching).

Note the application is just counting.
There is no transmitting/forwarding.

Also note the nics are e100.

So my simple question are there any
tips in increasing the performance?
Hmm actually the performance seems
optimal? is it only taking 9 instructions
per match? 1.2*10^9/(85000*1500) =3D 9

thanks,
P=E1draig.
