 ==== Choosing good FreeBSD release ====
-Before tuning, you need to use the good FreeBSD version.
+Before tuning, you need to use the good FreeBSD version... this mean a recent FreeBSD -head.
-This mean a FreeBSD -head version older than r309257 (Andrey V. Elsukov 's improvement: Rework ip_tryforward() to use FIB4 KPI) backported to FreeBSD 11-stable r310771 (MFC to stable).
-BSDRP since version 1.70 is using a FreeBSD 11-stable (r312663) that includes this improvement.

-For better (and linear scale) performance there is the [[https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/projects/routing/|projects/routing]] too [[http://blog.cochard.me/2015/09/receipt-for-building-10mpps-freebsd.html|that still give better performance]].
+BSDRP is currently following FreeBSD 12-stable branch, to try to have a mix between recent features and stability.
