      @Supermule:

      EDIT: It was my bandwith that caused to attacked IP to survive.

      No change in resilience. (Sorry).

      It was your bandwidth? Isn't that the goal? The weakest link should be the bandwidth, not the firewall, yes? What issue(s) still remain? Same?

        As soon as I was able to push 10mbit/s out on my private line, then it failed again….

          So 10Mb/s of special traffic against your greater than 10Mb/s link caused the link to fail? Did the firewall stop working or only the link go down?

            Firewall stopped routing traffic. Link was fine.

            Lots of packetloss once again.

              So same issue as before, firewall is the weakest link, not the bandwidth? Maybe 2.3.

              Any news from the FreeBSD side of things?

                  Did this end up in nowhere with the issue still being there?

                        Does this need to be included in 2.2.4 before it is released?

                          That would be a very good idea if possible!

                          Opnsense has this fix done allready and a full release on friday.

                                You beat me to it. This thread is the first thing I thought about when I saw this in G+

                                  Supermule, is this directly related to what you've been digging into?

                                      So you haven't tested it?  It's more of a definite maybe that this resolves the issue?

                                          I suppose another question to ask, is how did we miss this on our own machines, and what can we do to avoid such problems from occurring again?

                                            Supermule didn't miss it. Well, possibly. If it turns out to be the same issue.
