The performance boost comes from using netmap, thus bypassing the native network stack and -- if available -- using optimized network drivers. cheers luigi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
