Ben,

Thank you for the quick response. :-)
I am interested to understand why the 32 interfaces limit is there.
Which kernel API calls are limited to 32 interfaces?
I might want to add support for more than 32 interfaces. I am thinking
of maybe 1000 interfaces.
The total packet bandwidth over all the 1000 interfaces is likely to
be low, about 4MBytes/s.

Kind Regards

James
