Depending on what you're doing, that's two copy_(to|from)_users of the entire packet. Being able to combine raw packet filtering with the speed of mmapped packet sockets seems a good way to do this quickly, especially if you don't need to filter on the entire packet. I'm still not sure why it locks up on SMP at gigabit ethernet speeds, though. -- Jason Lunz Trellis Network Security j@trellisinc.com http://www.trellisinc.com/ - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
