Comments on: A short npf note https://www.dragonflydigest.com/2013/03/23/a-short-npf-note/ A running description of activity related to DragonFly BSD. Tue, 26 Mar 2013 03:59:48 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: corey https://www.dragonflydigest.com/2013/03/23/a-short-npf-note/comment-page-1/#comment-47923 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 03:59:48 +0000 http://www.shiningsilence.com/dbsdlog/?p=11452#comment-47923 I think “how pf would be had it been written today” is a bit of a stretch. There are many other aspects of pf besides whether its packet-filtering engine can utilize multiple cores. I don’t believe the OpenBSD pf devs see lack of multicore packet filtering as a big handicap on that platform.

While running multi-core was a consideration, I suspect the porting effort was one, too, as OpenBSD pf has become more tightly integrated with its kernel.

It’s basically how of would be if it would have been written today.
