Hello again,
Unfortunately the 'quick' keyword in my pf.conf file didn't seem to fix
the issue.
The situation lies as such:
I can increase mbufs indefinitely (until I run out of memory I suppose).
When I disable pf (pfctl -d) the mbufs are immediately released and the
usage count drops to ~ 200. As soon as I enable pf the usage count goes
up again until it finally maxes out.
This is the hardware I'm using:
soekris net4801
3x sis ethernet
1x ral wireless ethernet.
Does anyone know of any reason that this might be happening? I was
suspecting that the soekris isn't fast enough to handle the packet
filtering but that seems a little unlikely. There are about 100 rules
all with keep state and all using the quick keyword.
I can post a copy of my pf.conf if anyone thinks that might help
It might help to see your pf.conf, a "netstat -m" output, log file,
and dmesg. Are you still running an aggressive ping test? I'm not
the most qualified, but I'll be happy to look to see if I can see
anything wrong.
