ifq.maxlenand altq qlimits are not directly related. the formeris the length of the global ip intr queue, the latter the max for each of the numerous output queues. there is no easy way to determine the "optimal" qlimit value, it is always a compromise, andmost of the time, doesn't matter all that much -- Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting - Hamburg & Amsterdam
