Right. I made some bad calculations.

I assumed that Chris saw a problem with this code after being hit by some TCP/IP interop issue. Was this the case?

Subject: sftp server with speed throttling

What are my options if I want to run an sftp server with speed
throttling? My understanding is that openssh (which includes sftp) in
base does not support this directly, so I would have to either use a
custom kernel with ALTQ (and I would really rather stick to GENERIC so
I can use freebsd-update) which sounds like a bit too much
configuration work or pass sftp traffic through PF and throttle it
(ugly, would also affect ssh traffic).
Are there any sftp servers with directly built-in functionality for
this? I just would to be able to set limits for upload speed globally
for the entire server and preferably to also be able to do speed
settings on a per-user basis.
Thanks.
- Sincerely,
Dan Naumov

A quick google indicates there are at least 2 sftp servers with this
functionality,
http://www.proftpd.org/docs/contrib/mod_sftp.html
http://mysecureshell.sourceforge.net/en/index.html
Proftpd with mod_sftp needs the proftp-devel port so I'm guessing its
still in testing but at least its in ports.
No idea about the mysecureshell program, its not in ports.
I havent actually tried with of these so no idea how well they work,
good luck.
Vince

Hi, everybody!
I have found some Intel NICs which supports "header splitting". Does FreeBSD
support them for zero-copy receive?
One more question please... is there a way to determine whether or not
zero-copy receive is working, for example by kernel log or something else?
Thank you in advance.
