The table is also up at http://www.tancsa.com/blast.html which might be easier to read

Decided to test with RELENG_4 as a comparison. Quite a difference. With polling and fast forwarding on, I can use 2 routers to blast through at almost 1Mpps. Even with ipfw loaded, it performs as RELENG_6 and above does without ipfw. Updated stats in the table at the above URL.

One other aspect I have not looked at yet are some of the compile time tunables for em. Looking at the stats from the dual port em nic below, does anyone have any suggestions on what to adjust ? This is a PCIe dual port Pro 1000 PT.
