Hello,

I'm considering to reconfigure my firewall (NetBSD 3.0_BETA, PF) to use
stateful packet filtering. But I'm concerned about the overhead caused
by that. The machine is a SPARCstation LX with only a 50MHz MicroSPARC CPU
and 96MB of main memory.

Stateful packet filtering means that it has to keep track of every
connection routed through it. I therefore wonder how much CPU time
and memory PF needs for that per connection.

	Kind regards
