It might be useful to have PF disabled, and PF enabled with a simple "pass" rule. More than that and it's likely to be more dependent on the actual traffic and ruleset so probably not so useful unless you are trying to hand optimize the ruleset to squeeze as much performance as possible out of a system. Make sure you do measure routing performance (packet source and sink on different machines) and not local stack performance (tcpbench/iperf/whatever on the machine itself). If you publish them somewhere please do include dmesg and description of the test setup. > Also, I'm curious if anymody is aware of such existing benchmarks. http://bluhm.genua.de/perform/results/perform.html (repeated tests over time showing some effects of changes in the kernel; the FORWARD and FORWARD6 graphs are probably what you're interested in here) https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20220319123157 (pps tests with a diff that is not yet committed) https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160302155046 (older but some suggestions of software that can be useful for testing) -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
