Hi,
I have am setting up a router that needs to handle a lot of
traffic. I am using a Dell 2950 that I have added Intel Gig cards into
(em). This server will be running quagga (for BGP) and also use a
couple of IPFW FWD rules to forward packets to another host.
In order to get the forwarding speed I need I have turned on the
sysctl variable net.inet.ip.fastforwarding=1 What is the
ramifications of this? Will it still work with routing software like
quagga or allow IPFW to still forward packets?
