[nsp] Network Firewall

[Lawrence Wong]

Hi Zoltan,

Would it be possible to elaborate further on the Linux
configuration which you described earlier?

Is the 250/350kpps with respect to the kernel alone or
other applications running off it such as Apache,
Sendmail, etc?

BTW, what tool do you usually use to do the
250/350kpps testing?

Thanks!
