Subject: why was the nloopbacks parameter changed from 8 to 4
Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2007 09:10:58 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <45BF0BA2.39DB.0076.0@novell.com> (raw)
Is there a technical reason for changing the default nloopbacks parameter in loopback.c in netback from 8 to 4? I know that this changed quite some time ago and that the default can be overridden when the module loads, but it has now become some what of an inconvenience. We have many machines that the first four NICs are integrated and do not work so we add a fifth and we have machines which really use more that four NICs.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Kirk
