I've got a Pentium 133 running NetBSD 1.2 that is acting as a firewall for
my network (using TIS's FWTK).
I was watching the output of "systat mbufs" today, and noticed that
the data line was reading as high as 990 units at times. This seems high to
me, and I was wondering if there were any suggestions on how to configure
the machine/kernel to cope with such a high load.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
