Packet performance degradation with CONFIG_NETFILTER [2.4.26]

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi there.

A colleague of mine has recently stubbled on a curious problem.

He works on a embedded device which is connected to a USB ADSL modem.

When the kernel is build without any IP filtering the transfer rate
is OK (~8.5Kbyte/sec).

When he enables CONFIG_NETFILTER & CONFIG_NAT the rate drops at ~4.5Kbyte/sec without him enabling any rules.

The system load does not appear to be a problem.

It is quite possible that there is a problem with the (proprietary)
ADSL driver, but I was wondering if someone else had some similar
problem in the past and could offer some advice on how to track it
down.

Regards

Pantelis
