Mehma, You can find more info on the performance boost, and how developers achieved it, in this article. You can go through all of it as its really interesting IMHO: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2007/11/01/whats-new-in-bsd-42.html Hope it helps you feel the need of trying pf _at home_ :) On

Why come to an OpenBSD list asking about FreeBSD pf? I note that you didn't come to ask about getting OpenBSD running on your new hardware. (It might have been quite a simple thing to fix). You'd be better off asking on a FreeBSD list or the general pf list. Most of us here don't know FreeBSD pf.

Ingo et all, I suspect "modulate state" may be the culprit. Here is what the manual says: modulate state - works only with TCP. PF will generate strong Initial Sequence Numbers (ISNs) for packets matching this rule. So we have 2 machines generating ISNs for the same connection. Could this be the
