Hi,
I'm setting up a linux box as a router/firewall and I'm wondering if 
there are any best practices with regards to network settings that 
should be tweaked in this situation.
In particular I'm wondering if the default pfifo_fast is susceptible to 
a single flow flooding the buffer and causing other flows to lose 
packets? Is there an alternative that would work better in terms of 
fairness but doesn't create too much overhead or is overly complicated 
to configure?
The system has 1Gbit interfaces.

Regards,
   Dennis
