How can I be sure? Libalias is used by ipfw and the old userland natd to implement IPv4 NAT. It requires unmodified access to all packets including their headers. LRO and TSO coalesce packets to reduce save CPU time but the process is loses some of the information required by libalias. Unless your ruleset uses ipfw in-kernel NAT or diverts traffic to natd you don't have to worry about libalias. Use `kldstat -v | grep libalias` to check for libalias in the running kernel and `pgrep natd` to search for running natd instances.Received on Fri May 20 2016 - 12:01:20 UTC
